| Unsweetened almond milk | vanilla extract |

Unsweetened almond milk:- unsweetened almond milk is best to use for the latte. Try to avoid adding sugar when using sweetened almond milk or vanilla flavor almond milk latte. Unsweetened milk gives you control over the sweetness. If you want more sugar, you can add sugar as per your preferences. Barista blend of almond milk creates a great foam so consider using this if you find them.
Coffee or Espresso:– you can make the coffee either by the french press or the drip coffee maker. Both give you intense coffee flavors. I use a french press. If you have Espresso, then feel free to use Espresso. Traditionally almond mil latte contains 2 shots of Espresso.
vanilla extract:– just to increase the vanilla flavor and taste, avoid if you are using vanilla flavored almond milk.
honey or maple syrup:-work as a sweetener
