Recipe FAQs
- → What milk works best for this latte?
Unsweetened almond milk pairs well, but oat, soy, or cow's milk can be used depending on preference. Dairy-free options keep it light and creamy.
- → Can I adjust the peppermint flavor?
Yes, simply add more or less peppermint extract to suit your taste. A small amount offers a refreshing hint without overpowering.
- → How do I make it iced?
Combine all ingredients with cold milk and ice cubes, then blend until smooth and frothy for a chilled version of this latte.
- → Is collagen necessary for the texture?
Collagen adds creaminess and nourishment but can be omitted or replaced with a plant-based booster for vegan preferences.
- → What toppings are recommended?
Whipped cream (regular or coconut-based) and a pinch of cacao nibs or chocolate shavings add a delightful finishing touch.
