WARMING SPICED COFFEE CREAMER + LATTE
If this latte isn't for you, try using this milk in coffee as is for your own holiday spiced creamer.
Makes 3 Cups. Print Recipe Here.
1 Cup Walnuts, soaked
3 Cups Water
2 Pitted Medjool Dates (3-5 of using Deglet Noor)
½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
½ tsp. Cardamon Powder
¼ tsp. Nutmeg
Small Pinch of cloves
Espresso and a ½ tsp. Coconut Oil (optional)
- Either soak the nuts overnight or if pressed for time, boil some water and soak the walnuts in the boiled water for at least 1 hour. Drain the nuts and rinse them regardless of the soaking method used.
- Combine the walnuts with the three cups water, the dates and spices. Puree until smooth and frothy. Drain this mixture though a nut milk bag. Store the milk in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake before using.
- Make your espresso or strong coffee and heat up enough milk to fill your mug. Combine the warmed milk, coconut oil, and coffee in a blender and blend until frothy. Serve as is or with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Oh, this coffee looks like the perfect drink for a cold autumn morning, Sophie. 🙂 And that gorgeous mug!
Oh I've been feeling that same pull lately too, Sophie - slower mornings with a little extra cozy. I always drool at photos of frothy, creamy coffee (especially these ones!), but then when I drink them all I can think is 'i prefer it black.' BUT, oh I am picturing this delicious milk with an herbal chai tea bag in it this afternoon while looking at the fall colors from my window and it sounds just perfect to me. Might just have to listen to a podcast too 🙂 Happy fall, friend x
Do you listen to Gastropod? It's a podcast that "explores food through the lens of science and history" and it's my favourite podcast of all time - sounds right up your alley if you liked one about the history of vinegar!
Hey Jo! I don't, but I must! Adding it to the list now, thank you!
Sophie, I love this rendition of the mainstream seasonal dinks and your appreciation for the celebration behind it. There is something to celebrate in with the coming of each season but there is truly something special about fall. Thank you for sharing this warming recipes! What a great way to kick of the season! xx, Jess
Ah, thanks a million, Jess! Fall is really so special and I'm not even sure why. Every season has it's special qualities, but fall's are just the best! lol. So happy you like the recipe. Sending you loads of cozy vibes <3
This is absolutely something I want to try soon because the cold weather always has me wanting to sip on sweet and creamy drinks! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Perfect, Tori! Seriously, curling up or going for a walk on an Autumn day with a warm drink is basically the best. hope you enjoy, friend xox
Love the links you shared! And this creamer sounds like my cup of tea (or coffee in this case). I agree that the syrupy holiday beverages can be a bit much, but this one has the cozy spice factor with less of that sticky sweet. Perfect xx
Awe, thank you so much, Ruby! I hope there are loads of warm and cozy holiday sips coming your way soon <3
Have been wanting to try my hand at walnut milk! This looks and sounds so delightful- thanks for sharing Sophie!
Yay! So happy to hear this Karlie! The walnut milk is so creamy and rich, I love it! I also made a version this week without the spices and turned it into a cinnamon and rose hip latte - it was so yummy 🙂
