Create Lattes And Cappuccinos With Coffee Creamer

You can easily make them at home using coffee creamer. For lattes, combine 1/2 espresso shot with 1/2 cup milk or cream and 1-2 tablespoons of sugar. For cappuccinos, combine 1/2 espresso shot with 1/2 cup milk or cream and 2-4 tablespoons of sugar.

Some tips for finding the best ratio: Start with two tablespoons of cream and one tablespoon of sugar per cup of coffee. If you like your coffee sweeter, add more sugar. If you like it savory, add more cream. Play around with the proportions until you find what works best for you.

Whole milk: 2 Tbsp powdered creamer + 2 Tbsp water OR 4 Tbsp liquid coffee creamer. 2% reduced fat milk: 3 Tbsp powdered creamer + 3 Tbsp water OR 5 Tbsp liquid coffee creamer. Skim milk: 4 Tbsp powdered creamer + 4 Tbsp water OR 8 Tbsp liquid coffee creamer.

The ratio of coffee to sugar can be either 1:1 or 1:2. What does this mean? An iced coffee usually has 2 teaspoons of coffee, so to drink it moderately sweet, you will add 2 teaspoons of sugar, while to drink it sweet, you will add 4 teaspoons.

Thickeners have also been known to cause inflammation and gastrointestinal issues and some preservatives can actually cause damage to your reproductive system. Creamers have a lot of added sugar, which can definitely be harmful to your diet.

Once water is added, use a spoon to whip (beat) the coffee sugar until it gets frothy and creamy. Divide the beaten coffee mixture between two serving mugs. Pour hot milk over the beaten coffee slowly and mix well using a spoon. As you mix the coffee with the milk, the mixture will turn creamy and frothy.

Generally speaking, light roasts are thought to have a more natural sweetness and darker roasts reveal bitterness (in the way that burnt sugar under flan does). For many, adding a bit of sugar to coffee highlights its natural sweet notes. Sugar softens bitter. Refer back to our story about cacao.
