Notes
Tips for Making Vanilla Soy Latte
- Use fresh and cold soy milk before frothing.
- It's best to use unsweetened soy milk, and add your own sweetener to your preferred taste.
- A soy creamer is also an option. It will have a richer texture.
- If possible use espresso rather than brewed coffee. Espresso has bold and complex flavors that when paired with the creaminess of the milk provide a nice balance.
- The best way to froth the milk is to use a milk frother or a frothing wand. This method will create the smallest bubbles in your milk.
