BEST COFFEE RECIPES

#1 Luscious Latte (Iced Vanilla Latte Recipe)
Most people avoid making their own coffee at home because they think it’ll take a lot of work. Others fear they will never create a confectionery delight to rival their favorite café drinks. Honestly, it doesn’t take much to put together your own refreshing — and often healthier — version at home.

This cool, caffeinated latte requires only three ingredients, and you can adjust the calorie level (or even make it dairy free) by using skim milk or choosing almond or coconut milk. Avoid sugar and calories with a sugar-free vanilla syrup.

#2 Mocha Madness (Frozen Mochaccino Recipe)
Keeping with the careful calorie counting, take a load off (and don’t worry about getting dressed up) and create your own frozen coffee drink at home. Use coffee or espresso as you like, and make coffee ice cubes so the flavor doesn’t get diluted.​

Using low-fat milk and unsweetened cocoa powder cuts the calories to a fraction of what they would be at your local big box coffee shop. Best of all, once the cubes are frozen, it only takes a few minutes to prepare.

#3 Colorful Coffee (Four Flavoured Syrups and a Coffee Brew Recipe)
This is a bonus. Not only can you create your own cold brew coffee with the recipe here, but you can also create four different at-home syrups that are healthier than what you’ll find at the café and can be combined for very interesting flavors.

If you need a light version, use a sugar substitute. Almond syrup, cinnamon brown sugar syrup, and vanilla bean syrup are all standard favorites, but the blackberry syrup is excellent as well and gives your coffee drink a fun purple or pink color when mixed with creamer!

#4 Sugar and Spice (Honey Cinnamon Iced Latte Recipe)
If you’re looking for something sweet and light (and natural) it doesn’t get any more basic than this. Honey and cinnamon are two of the least processed substances you can find, and you can use organic milk or opt for a non dairy alternative if necessary.

Coconut milk tends to be sweetest, and almond milk adds a nutty flavour that blends well with the other ingredients. There’s no need for processed sugar, since the honey sweetens on its own, and the entire process only takes about ten minutes! You can spend that much time doctoring up your drink at the café.
