I've recently discovered (and become rather addicted to) Costa's sugar free soy caramel lattes. I'm sure I'm probably the last person to jump on this bandwagon, but I am not usually one for taking coffee related risks, especially as coffee from places like Costa and Starbucks can be quite expensive. However, a few weeks ago I decided to throw caution to the wind and just try it...and as I'm sure you've already guess I bloody loved it! As I've already touched on, although delicious, these snazzy coffees can be a little pricey, so I set about making my own at home for a fraction of the cost.
What you'll need:
> Unsweetened Soy Milk
> Sugar-free Caramel Syrup (I like Jordan's Skinny Syrups, which you can find in TK Maxx or online at TRKG)
> Coffee - I use mine straight from the coffee machine
> A little milk frother thing (I got mine from Ikea)
> A microwave
The major trick with this is to a) not overheat the soy milk and b) make sure your coffee isn't too hot as you don't want a curdled soy milk situation on your hands - it's not pretty and doesn't make for a nice, relaxing beverage.
What you need to do:
> Pop about 150ml soy milk in a jug and heat for approx 1:30, stopping every 30 seconds to check it and give it a wee froth with your frother gadget - like I said before, you don't want it to get too hot!
> In the mean time, get your coffee a brewing and pop some yummy caramel syrup in your cup along with any other sweetening product you wish.
> Once you milk is warm and frothed, pop it in your cup until it's about 3/4 full, making sure you get plenty that lovely froth in too! Give it a stir to mix in your syrup.
> Finally add in your coffee and give it another cheeky little stir - all being well it should be perfectly un-curdled and you can now put your feet up and enjoy!
Once you get the technique on fleek, this really is super easy and makes for a delicious coffee at a fraction of the price you would pay in a coffee shop.
