  5. Now use the coffee machine steam wand to froth the mixture as if steaming hot milk.
  6. Pour into the serving cup or glass tumbler.

Tips for the barista

MILK Superlatte can be served with any milk including dairy, almond, soy, rice and oat. We suggest oering a plant-based milk as a healthy alternative.

COCONUT OIL This is optional and will not impact taste, but rather texture. The benets are a creamier latte, especially when using certain plant-based milk, as well as the health benefits of coconut oil in aiding absorption of fat soluble nutrients. Itʼs useful if the spoon used for the oil is heated – so pass it under a shot of hot water Or, keep oil in a plastic squeeze bottle, on top of the coffee machine, where it will stay in liquid form and be easy to pour.

DECORATE If latte art is not an option, consider sprinkling on cinnamon for the Golden Cup, Purple Poet Latte and Ruby Chai latte, cocoa for the Red Velvet and Cosmic Choc Latte, and Superlatte matcha-mint powder for the Green Dream Latte.

MILK FROTHER The use of a battery operated, handheld milk frother is optional but recommend to ensure a perfect blend of powder in milk.
