Ingredients

• For the latte syrup
• Don't be afraid to make a sugar free syrup all you have to do is heat water and whisk, whisk, whisk!
• 1 cup VERY hot water
• 1/2 cup Gentle Sweet Sweetener (or 1/4 cup Pyure or Truvia still good but not quite as sugary tasting)
• 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (serves as a binder and this syrup will not separate at all)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use a high quality organic to insure a clean flavor)
• 1/4 teaspoon caramel flavoring (I use Watkins and get it at Wal-mart - The key is keeping the amount of caramel flavoring very small here.)
• For the latte
• 1 cup cold brewed coffee
• 3/4 cup unsweetened original almond milk (I love blue diamond)
• 1 1/2 tablespoon collagen protein
• 1/4 cup half and half (or to lower carbs you can use 2 tablespoons or more heavy cream)
• 1/4 cup caramel latte syrup

Preparation

Step 1

For the easy syrup! Heat water to almost boiling and remove from the heat then quickly WHISK in the following ingredients to make the vanilla/caramel syrup. Be sure and whisk after each additional ingredient. This will make four drinks and keeps in the fridge for weeks.
For the 24 oz glass I fill it half full of ice. Then I pour in the 1/4 cup latte syrup and top that with a mixture of the almond milk, 1/2 and 1/2 or cream, and collagen protein. Carefully pour the beautiful coffee over this mixture and you will have a perfect glass of a coffee drink so yummy you will only need to go to the coffee house for ambience and to visit friends!
