Notes
- Optional: Feel free to add cinnamon powder or marshmallows after you add whipped cream.
- Milk: You can use any milk you prefer. For a vegan option, consider oat, almond, or coconut milk.
- Sweetener: You can choose any sugar you like. I recommend brown sugar for this recipe due to its molasses content, which imparts a rich caramel or toffee-like flavor.
- Sifting: Option to strain the latte before adding the milk to remove powdered ingredients.
