Spiced Apple Tea Latte

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup grass-fed whole milk

1/4 cup grass-fed cream

1 medium organic apple, cored and chopped

1 tablespoon organic black tea

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pinch cloves

1 pinch nutmeg

Instructions
Place all ingredients in a pot and heat to 175 degrees F. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain to remove solids, making sure to press on the apple pieces with the back of a spoon. Reheat if needed and froth. Sprinkle with cinnamon to serve if desired.

Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte

Ingredients 

2.5 cups hot water (approximately 175 degrees)

1/3 cup raw cashews

2-3 teaspoons coconut palm sugar

2 teaspoons matcha powder

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on high until creamy and smooth. For an extra creamy drink, soak your cashews in hot water for 15-30 minutes, then drain and rinse before adding to the blender. Serve the pumpkin spice matcha immediately.

Apple Caramel Latte Macchiato

Ingredients

2 cups apple cider

1 cup milk

6 teaspoon instant coffee granules

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 teaspoon salted caramel sauce

extra sweetener if desired

Instructions

Add milk, apple cider and instant coffee granules to a small saucepan. Give it a stir and let it heat up until just before it’s simmering. Add vanilla extract and, if using, additional sweetener of choice. Prepare the mugs by pouring salted caramel sauce into them and swirl to cover the bottom. Cool the mixture a bit (unless you have a heat-proof blender) and then blend. It will get bigger in volume as you blend, so you shouldn’t completely fill the blender. Work in batches if needed. Using a spoon, hold the foam back while you divide the milk mixture among the mugs. Then divide the foam between the mugs. Drizzle with more salted caramel sauce!
