Description
A delightful pink latte topped with whipped cream and garnished with sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup hot milk
- 1/2 teaspoon beetroot powder or pink food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Pink sprinkles or edible pearls (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Mix the Pink Base: In a separate small bowl, combine the beetroot powder or a few drops of pink food coloring with a splash of hot water to dissolve. Stir until smooth.
- Flavor and Sweeten: Add the dissolved pink mixture to the hot milk, along with vanilla extract and sugar. Stir well until the ingredients are fully combined and the milk is evenly pink.
- Blend the Milk: For a frothier consistency, use a hand frother or blender to mix the milk until it becomes frothy.
- Pour and Top: Pour the pink latte into a glass or mug. Generously top with whipped cream.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the top of the whipped cream with pink sprinkles or edible pearls for a decorative touch.
Notes
- For a plant-based version, substitute regular milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or using a sugar substitute like honey or agave syrup.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Ensure the milk doesn’t boil, as it can alter the texture and taste of the latte.
