Ingredients
Coffee Base
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp beet juice
- 1 cup fresh brewed coffee
Milk and Topping
- 2 Tbsp milk
- Whipped cream or non-dairy topping of choice
- Garnish: red sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix the cocoa base: In your coffee mug, whisk together the cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, and beet juice until smooth and well combined. This forms the colorful and flavorful base of your latte.
- Add coffee: Pour in the hot, freshly brewed coffee over the cocoa mixture in your mug. Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Heat the milk: In a small nonstick saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming hot but not boiling. This will add creamy texture to your latte.
- Assemble the latte: Spoon the hot steamed milk carefully on top of the coffee mixture to create a layered effect and creamy richness.
- Garnish and serve: Top the latte with whipped cream or your preferred non-dairy topping. Sprinkle red sugar sprinkles on top for an extra festive and sweet touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your red velvet latte.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute milk and whipped cream with plant-based alternatives.
- Adjust the beet juice quantity for a deeper color or milder sweetness.
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee for best flavor impact.
- Red sugar sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted or replaced with cinnamon or cocoa powder for variation.
