The Breakfast Project #LatteLove Twitter Party!

Did you know that Milk can easily provide three out of the four “nutrients of concern” that are often lacking in the typical diet? Milk gives you a healthy source of calcium, vitamin D and potassium and can help fill in important nutrient gaps. You can easily start off your day by getting milk in each morning! You can swig a tall cup of milk, add some to your latte, or maybe mix it in with your cereal or oatmeal! Here are some fun latte tips to get the party started!

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: 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.
