Ingredients
16 oz water in the coffee maker (fill to the 4-cup line on coffee pot)
1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use 3:1 almond milk to coconut creamer)
1 level coffee scoop (or 2 tablespoons) decaf coffee (see note)
1 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid stevia or pure liquid monk fruit drops to taste
Optional:
1 vanilla bean pod
Instructions
AUTO-DRIP COFFEE MAKERS (EASIEST METHOD):
- Brew coffee at half your typical strength (the quantities listed above are a good starting place, but adjust as needed).
- While the coffee brews, in a small saucepan on medium-high, heat the nut milk and vanilla extract on the stovetop. Option: If you’re using a real vanilla bean, carefully slice the bean open with a sharp paring knife. Using the blunt side of the blade, scrape the seeds from the bean and add them to the milk. When the milk begins to foam turn off heat, being careful not to burn it.
- When the coffee is finished, add the desired amount of cacao powder directly to the coffee carafe. Mix it with a latte frother or whisk so the powder is fully blended. Mixing in the carafe makes it easier to pour.
- Using the latte frother, froth the milk in the saucepan to give it extra foam. The fattier the milk, the more foam you’ll get.
- Pour the coffee/cacao mixture into your favorite mug and top with the frothed milk. Sweeten with liquid stevia or pure monk fruit drops to taste and enjoy!
OTHER COFFEE MAKERS:
Follow the first 2 steps above but pour the coffee directly into the saucepan with the milk. Then add the cacao powder and combine everything with a latte frother or whisk. There likely won’t be as much foam.
Use a ladle or a funnel to carefully pour the tiramisu latte into your favorite mug.
Equipment
Notes
Ideally, use a “water processed” or Swiss Water® Decaf due to the absence of chemical solvents found in traditional decaf coffee.
If highly sensitive to caffeine, start with less cacao and increase to your taste and level of tolerance.
