Morning Latte + Favorite Blogs = Relaxation! #lattelove

Ahhh...what's better than 10-15 minutes of quiet freedom reading your favorite blogs?  Reading them while sipping on a great latte of course!  Did you know just how easy it is to make a latte right in your own home, without any crazy extra equipment?  Well it is, simple actually, you just need 1 part coffee, and 2 parts milk.

According to the "got milk" team you can make your latte with the fancy stuff, or with the basic stuff, you decide!

Espress-o Yourself: Thinking about getting an espresso machine? Great! If not, no problem... just brew your coffee beans stronger than usual.


Get Frothy with It: Milk frothers are a great gift. But you can also heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave, then whisk for extra foam.

Have Fun with Flavor: Check your spice cabinet to add great flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also buy your favorite syrups for a coffee shop-worthy flavor boost.

To make your latte, you can heat 1 cup milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking quickly with a wire whisk to create foam. Meanwhile, brew your strong coffee (you’ll need about 1/2 cup). Pour the heated milk into a tall mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Add strong brewed coffee and spoon a thin layer of foamed milk over beverage You can find a bunch of fun recipes at The Breakfast Project which includes lots of different latte recipes too!

I'm not a huge coffee drinker, so no need for the expensive equipment, I made mine the old fashioned way.  I stuck with the basic latte, but I'd love to try some of the recipes posted specially the Sugar-free-pumpkin-pie-latte and the latte-love (I mean pumpkin or chocolate and peppermint...yes please!)

So, as I'm sitting in the recliner with my feet propped up and the laptop on my lap, sipping on my latte...enjoying the last 10-15 minutes before the kids wake up....I'm totally stalking my favorite blogs...
