Cafe Latte Steamer

(Dessert Favourite)

Preparation time: 5 Minutes

Serve this delicious dish when you have company and you'll have everybody wanting the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup strong brewed coffee 250 mL

1 tbsp granulated sugar (or to taste) 15 mL

2 cups milk 500 mL

Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions:

In a saucepan or large glass measuring cup, combine flavouring ingredients (as called for). Gradually whisk in milk until blended. Heat in saucepan over medium heat or in microwave on medium (50%) power until steaming, 3 to 5 min.

To froth:

Using a battery-powered latte whip or a whisk attachment on an immersion blender, whip hot milk mixture until frothy. Or, transfer to an upright blender or milk frother and blend or pump until frothy.

Pour into warmed latté bowls or large mugs and sprinkle or drizzle with suggested garnish.

Cooking Tip:
Heat the milk just until steaming. If it boils, it may split and will not get frothy when whipped or blended.

For the Adventurous:
Chai Latté Steamer: Replace coffee in Café Latté with strong-brewed Chai tea.
Mocha Latté Steamer: add 1/2 cup (125 mL) strong-brewed coffee to Extra-Chocolate Latté
