How to Create An Easy Diet Latte
It’s an incredibly straightforward process to make an amazing latte, but you do need to know the tricks to transform an average latte into to an amazing one. I’m going to give you some tips on how to create and an easy diet latte with an incredible taste. My coffee latte will give you lower calories, great taste and hopefully the most pleasure out of brewing your next cup. Please follow the subsequent advice.
How to Store Your Coffee
Firstly make sure you have a good quality coffee, preferably a gourmet one. Then you need to ensure the coffee is well shielded form moisture, heat and light. Put your coffee in a sealed box, jar or re-seal able bag. Put it in the freezer for maximum protection, or a dark cupboard that remains cool.
The Right Way to Grind Your Coffee
Before you brew your easy diet latte you should only grind enough coffee as necessary, as any excess that’s unused will taste bad later. The reason this happens is that coffee begins to oxidise and lose its taste. There are two types of coffee grinder, I recommend the burr kind over the blade kind as the consistency seems to be better. Always use the correct grinder for your coffee maker. You should use a French press to make your easy diet latte, the coarse grind being the best choice.
Always Use Fresh Milk to Make Your Easy Diet Latte
If you don’t use fresh milk you can end up with a bad latte, so no using day old milk. For this recipe you should only use skimmed milk, which is low on calories but still gives a rich flavour. Do not use filtered milk, it reduces the natural flavour.
Determining the Right Amount of Coffee
The best ratio of milk to coffee is 6 ounces of skimmed milk to 2 tablespoons of coarse ground coffee. You can adapt the quantity of coffee to your taste further if you like it stronger , but make sure you do this bit by bit. Always use a good quality accurate measuring jug before you put everything in the French press. Measuring is essential for making great lattes taste greater. However you must also remember that some types of coffees can be stronger or weaker, so use sound judgement.
Take The Time to Brew Your Coffee
Badly brewing the coffee affects the taste more than the quality of the beans you’ve chosen. Top methods of brewing include the vacuum pot, manual drip, or French press. For the easy diet latte we shall use the French press. The French press is simple, elegant, and effective for the desired results. Pour the hot (not boiling) skimmed milk into the French press along with the ground coffee stir and wait at least 6 minutes before pressing and pouring yourself a cup of heaven.
If you want to keep your latte warm, you can place it on the burner, but be warned more than 18 minutes and your silky cup of heaven can turn into a bitter cup of hell. For the best easy diet latte, brew for 6 minutes, then start drinking. A sealed flask will keep the taste of your easy diet latte for travel, or for maintaining multiple cups throughout the day, although I recommend drinking it freshly made.
Final Preparation of Your Latte
While a lot of drinkers like their latte really creamy, it can increase your waistline. However if you still want it creamier, simply substitute the skimmed milk with semi-skimmed (half fat) milk. Also you can heat the skimmed milk longer which can make it richer in flavour but without adding cream fat. To sweeten with the lowest calories possible you can use Sweet and Low or Splenda. However, artificial sweetener means artificial taste. Personally I recommend fructose (fruit sugar), as it is sweeter than sugar, lower in calories and tastes superb. That’s it! Follow these tips and you’ll have the perfect easy diet latte.
