Oat Milk Latte

Region: Modern Craft Coffee Movement
Brewing Time: 3 minutes (for espresso)
Total Time: 5 minutes
Indulgence: ☕️☕️ (Medium)
The Story:
The Oat Milk Latte is the poster child of the 2010s third-wave coffee and plant-based milk revolution. Oat milk's natural sweetness and creamy texture, which steams and froths remarkably well, made it the preferred non-dairy alternative for baristas and coffee lovers alike, leading to its massive surge in popularity.
Prep Time 2 minutes
Brewing time 3 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso
  • 6-8 oz barista edition oat milk (this steams best!)

Equipment

  • 1 Espresso machine (with steam wand)

Method
 

  1. Pull espresso shots into a cup.
  2. Steam the oat milk, focusing on creating a rich, velvety microfoam. It may require more air than dairy milk.
  3. Pour the steamed oat milk into the espresso.
  4. Pro Tip: Use a "barista blend" oat milk. It's formulated with oils and stabilizers to steam and foam perfectly, preventing it from curdling or becoming slimy.
