Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Blender

Ingredients
 

US Customary - Metric
  • 1 cup milk of choice (coconut, soy, oat, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons taro powder (vegan-friendly)
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 small pinch of sea salt
  • 2 shots of espresso (or strong coffee)

For serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the milk, taro powder, cane sugar, and sea salt to a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over low-medium for 4-5 minutes, whisking constantly, until hot.
  • Transfer the mixture to a blender, and blend it on high to froth the milk.
  • In the meantime, prepare 2 espresso shots and pour them into a mug. Pour the taro mixture over top.
  • Serve your taro latte immediately while hot with a dusting of cinnamon or some vegan whipped cream on top. For a cold taro latte, skip heating the taro mixture in the saucepan and serve it over ice. Happy drinking!

Notes

Espresso quality: Use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for the best flavor. The robustness of the coffee complements the creamy sweetness of the taro.
Froth the milk: For an authentic latte experience, froth the milk mixture to create a smooth, creamy texture. A blender is great for this, especially if you don’t have a frother.
Consistency: If the latte is too thick, add a bit more milk to thin it out. The ideal consistency should be creamy but not overly heavy.
A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, contrasting with the sweetness and bringing out the taro's unique taste.
Blending for about 30 seconds should create the perfect froth. Be careful with hot liquids in a blender. It’s important to allow steam to escape while blending. If you don’t have a blender lid with vents, cover it with a dishcloth.
Pour the taro milk slowly to create layers in your latte, adding a more aesthethic touch.
