• Prepare the espresso or coffee with your preferred method. If using a sweetener, stir it into the hot espresso at this time to evenly dissolve and disperse it. You can also add the vanilla extract at this time if using.

For a hot latte:

• If you have an espresso machine with a wand attachment, you can heat and froth the almond milk that way. Otherwise, heat the almond milk in a saucepan or in the microwave until hot but not boiling.
• Use an electric milk frother, whisk, or blender to create foam if desired.
• Pour the hot espresso or coffee into mugs. Then, slowly pour the hot almond milk over the espresso, holding back any foam with a spoon. Spoon the foam on top of the lattes.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa powder to your liking and serve!

For an iced latte:

• Place your espresso or coffee in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to cool so that it doesn't melt the ice right away.
• Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled espresso over the ice cubes in the glass, then pour in the almond milk. Use a long spoon to stir the iced latte until well combined.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for a finishing touch if desired and serve immediately.
