Recipe Q&A
- → What milk options work best for this latte?
Unsweetened almond milk is popular, but oat, soy, or cow's milk can also be used based on preference or dietary needs.
- → Can I make this drink vegan?
Yes, use a plant-based collagen alternative and dairy-free whipped topping to keep it vegan-friendly.
- → How do I adjust the peppermint flavor?
Add peppermint extract gradually, tasting as you go, since a small amount provides noticeable flavor and too much can overpower the drink.

Whipped cream—regular or coconut-based—and a sprinkle of cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings add texture and flavor contrast.
