Why I Love Lining A Latte With Molasses
If you are like me, you enjoy a latte with molasses. Recently I saw a video using chocolate syrup and a milk frother to “line” a glass with chocolate syrup. Instantly I knew I had to try this technique. Using molasses instead of chocolate worked great for my needs.
This week I’ll share how I use this technique and other flavor options you can try!
Why Make A Latte With Molasses
For me, I prefer to not use traditional processed sugar. Instead, I opt for sugar alternatives such as honey, maple syrup, or molasses.
By using molasses, I was able to recreate this technique for lattes & smoothies too! The molasses will fade into the drink as you drink it (faster if it’s hot), and you will have a perfectly sweet drink. Sometimes I find I add too much sweetness to my drinks. However, when I line the glass, I just need a little puddle on the bottom of the cup to get a balanced sweet drink.
Other Options To Line A Glass
Any sauce that is a little thick should work well. I’ve included a few options that I would love to try later!
Any of the above should work to line the glass. In addition to lattes & smoothies, this technique will also work for cocktails. Depending on the flavor of your drink, you can decide which syrup is best for you.
Finding A Good Frother
You're going to need a milk frother to use this technique. I’ll share my favorite frother, note that I typically have to replace my frother every year. I have yet to find a frother that stands up to almost daily use. For me, I typically use my frother to mix the Your Super powders, not for frothing milk – I believe that’s why it’s hard for me to find a good frother.
With that being said, I have found frothers with a double whisk perform better than a single whisk. A final tip I will leave you with is to replace the batteries every few months if you use them daily. You’ll notice a huge difference in the power!
My favorite frother is this one. I still have a “backup” frother that I keep around in case this one decides to quit working one day.
What will you use this technique to make?
