Ingredients

½ cup gluten free chicory (118ml)brewed, strong (see notes)
2 tablespoon maple syrup (40g)
1 teaspoon almond extract (4g)
2 cups almond milk (475ml)

For the froth

¼ cup almond milk (63g)

Instructions

Divide the brewed chicory into two mugs.
Heat the almond milk on medium heat until it's hot (not boiling) and steaming.
Stir in the almond extract and maple syrup.
Immediately remove the saucepan from the stove and pour the milk into both mugs.
To make the froth, use a whisk/electrical frother or transfer the ¼ cup of milk into a blender until the milk is light and foamy.
Distribute the froth over both mugs of latte.
Serve immediately, while still hot.

Notes

Be sure to brew the chicory in advance, you want it to be quite strong for a better taste.
To brew the chicory, combine 2 tablespoons of chicory with ½ cups of hot water.
For best results, serve/drink the latte while it is still hot.
For a more prominent almond taste, add the almond extract.
Keep a watchful eye when you are heating the milk, you want it to be steaming but not boiling/scorched milk.
If you don't have an electric frother, use a blender, hand held whisk, immersion stick blender or a jar with a lid to create the froth.
Make sure your chicory is labelled gluten free as some contain wheat or barley.
