Step-by-Step Instructions
Making a perfect Keto Latte at home is very simple. Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Brew 1 cup of your favorite coffee.
You can use a drip machine, French press, or espresso maker.
Tip: Strong coffee works best for a richer taste.
Step 2: Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, gently heat the almond milk and heavy cream over low heat.
Do not boil. Just warm it until hot.
Tip: Overheating can change the taste.
Step 3: Blend for Creaminess
Pour the hot coffee into a blender.
Add the warm milk mixture, MCT oil (if using), sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Blend for 15–20 seconds until frothy and creamy.
Tip: Blending creates that café-style foam on top.
If you don’t have a blender, use a handheld milk frother.

Pour your creamy Keto Latte into a mug.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top if you like.
Enjoy while warm and fresh.
