Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 small beet, peeled and roughly chopped (see notes)
- 1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for non-AIP)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (sub vanilla bean powder for AIP)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp maple syrup (omit for whole30)
Instructions
- Add the beet to a small saucepan and cover with just enough water to cover the top of the beet. Bring to a low simmer for about 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool.
- Using a high-speed blender, blend the beet with the cooking liquid. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the beet mixture through the strainer. Use a spoon to push down the beet pulp to draw out any excess liquid. Save the pulp to add to soups, and sauces, or mix it into the drink if desired.
- To make a hot latte: Heat the milk in a medium saucepan until warm. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup at the end. Whisk until fully incorporated. Use a milk frother if desired to froth the latte. Pour the milk into the mug with the beet mixture and serve warm.
- To make an iced latte: Combine the milk with the vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup. Use a milk frother to froth the milk. Add ice to a glass and pour in the milk and beet mixture. Serve chilled.
