Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. Aim for a strong brew to balance the flavors of the peanut butter and milk.
- While your coffee is brewing, measure out 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your texture preference.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brewed coffee and the peanut butter. Stir continuously until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated into the coffee, creating a smooth mixture.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk or your chosen milk alternative over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching, and heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
- Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat and froth it using a milk frother or whisk until it becomes light and airy. This step is optional but adds a nice texture to the latte.
- Combine the peanut butter-coffee mixture with the frothed milk in a large mug. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to the latte and stir again. This will enhance the flavors and give it a delightful salty-sweet balance.
- If you prefer a sweeter latte, add 1 tablespoon of your preferred sweetener at this stage and stir until fully dissolved.
- Garnish your Sea Salt Peanut Butter Latte with a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra touch of flavor. You can also add a drizzle of peanut butter or chocolate syrup for added indulgence.
- Enjoy your homemade Sea Salt Peanut Butter Latte while it's warm, and savor the unique combination of flavors!
Tips
- Brew Strong Coffee: For the best flavor, opt for a strong brew that can stand up to the creamy peanut butter and milk. A dark roast works wonderfully!
- Peanut Butter Choice: Whether you prefer creamy or crunchy peanut butter, both will work well. Just remember that creamy will give you a smoother texture, while crunchy adds a delightful crunch.
- Frothing the Milk: Frothing your milk is optional, but it adds a lovely texture and makes your latte feel extra special. If you don’t have a milk frother, a whisk will do the trick!
- Sweetness Balance: Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Start with a small amount of sweetener and taste as you go; the natural sweetness of the peanut butter may be enough for some.
- Garnish Creatively: Don’t hold back on the toppings! A sprinkle of sea salt, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or even a dollop of whipped cream can take your latte to the next level.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to experiment by adding flavors like vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
- Serve Immediately: This latte is best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve it right after making to fully appreciate its creamy goodness!
