Rain rain please don’t go away, it’s finally latte season! Truth to be told, with the cold winds invading our homes, we all just want to curl up, snuggle under our blankets and just sleep all day! But nothing beats more than having a nice cup of coffee to refresh our minds and keep us awake during our work from home moments! It’s also no wonder that the majority will rather make their own concoction in their coffee nooks inside their houses (shoutout to home buddies!) rather than dragging themselves to the nearest coffee shop.

That’s why, ehem ehem, we’ve rounded up cafe worthy lattes that you can easily make at home. All you need to do is take out your fanciest cup and your favorite KickStart or Silcafe coffee to get started!

3. French Toast Latte

The Spruce Eats

Ingredients

1 and 1/2 tbsp coffee beans (Kickstart blends or Silcafe French Roast), 1/2 cup hot water, 1 1/4 cup milk, 1 tsp to 1 tbsp honey, and ground cinnamon

Instructions

Start heating your water. While you’re waiting for that to boil, grind your coffee beans. Add them to your French Press. Once the water comes to a boil, take it off heat and let it sit for just a bit.
Measure out your milk and put it in the sauce pan. Turn the heat on medium high. Heat the milk to 150 degrees. If you want the milk to be frothy, pull it off the heat once it hits 150 degrees and use your milk frother, mason jar or immersion blender to create some foam.
Pour 1/2 cup water over the ground coffee and let it brew for just one minute. If you’re using the French Press, push down the plunger. If you’re using the canning jar, grab an oven mitt and your brewing basket. Put the basket in the coffee cup and pour the coffee in there. Lift the brewing basket up a bit so it can all strain through.
Get your coffee cup. Add the honey and just a dash or two of cinnamon and add your coffee. Pour your heated milk into the cup and give it a little stir.

4. Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte

The Roasted Root

Ingredients

1 can/cup of coconut milk whole-fat, 2 cups of strong coffee (KickStart Philippine Barako, Silcafe Italian Roast, or Silcafe Farmer’s Brew), 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan.
While the coconut milk is heating, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, making a paste. Whisk into the coffee.
Once the coconut milk is warm, froth with a frother or in a blender.
Pour the coffee mixture into two mugs, then add the frothed coconut milk, top with whipped cream and extra pumpkin pie spice if desired.
