Dairy Free Oat Latte
teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1
You'll need
- 1 heaped teaspoon of Nescafé Azera Americano Coffee granules (about 2g)
- 40ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
- 220ml barista style oat milk, well shaken
- Optional: 1 teaspoon of clear maple syrup for the drizzle
- 1 warmed 350ml glass cup
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 small handheld milk frother
Method
- Warm a glass with hot water and tip it out.
- Dissolve a heaped teaspoon of coffee in 40ml of hot water (around 90C) to make a small, strong shot.
- Warm the barista oat milk gently until it just steams, keeping it below 70C so it does not turn bitter.
- Froth it for about fifteen seconds, a few seconds longer than dairy, into a thick foam.
- Pour the oat milk over the coffee, holding the jug high so the milk goes in first and the foam settles on top.
- Drizzle a little maple syrup over the foam if you want it sweet; it is good without.
- Use barista oat milk rather than standard; only the barista version froths to a stable foam.
