Homemade Latte





Step 1. Grind up some coffee beans and make coffee! You can use the coffee in a can, but this tastes so much better!



Step 2. Fill one of the taller bullet blender cups halfway with milk. I use 2% milk, but you can probably use whole, skim, 1% or soy if you wish. It's important that you only fill it halfway because the steam pressure is what will make the milk frothy later.

Step 3. Microwave the milk until it is very hot and nearly boiling. You will need to experiment with this to determine how long to cook it because every microwave is different. Keep on eye on it though, or you will have a mess in your microwave to clean up! It's important that you get it very hot though, otherwise, it won't get as frothy.

Step 4. Add your flavorings to the milk. Some of my favorites are white chocolate chips, peppermint candies, butterscotch candies, vanilla, sugar, and caramel. Be creative! I recently discovered that a teaspoon of peanut butter mixed with carmel is really amazing!

Step 5. Mix up the milk mixture in the bullet blender.




Step 6. Fill a mug or coffee cup halfway with the freshly brewed coffee.







Step 7. Pour the milk mixture on top of your coffee. Enjoy!
