Ingredients

Steps for crafting a Honey & Beetroot Latte

  1. Charge up your brew: Use your Nespresso machine to easily make a highly caffeinated espresso shot. Or, for a more traditional method, grind 18g of our high-caffeine coffee beans into a fine consistency specifically for espresso, then brew them using your espresso machine. (Tip: witness the transformation from a plain shot of espresso to a mesmerising drink by using a transparent glass to prepare your shot.) 
  2. Stir it up: Mix honey into the espresso shot slowly, creating a smooth and sweet base.
  3. A touch of pink: Blend almond milk and beetroot powder together until they're well combined.
  4. Foamy wonder: Heat the milk mixture by steaming or frothing it until it's rich and foamy.
  5. Pour and enjoy: Pour the warm pink milk mixture into the espresso shot and marvel at the final result.

  4. Blend together 1/3 cup of our energizing espresso, 1/3 cup vanilla-flavored vodka, and 1/3 cup Kahlua in a pitcher.
