Homemade Latte With Beetroot
Beetroot latte, which is also known as red velvet latte (usually made with coffee), is a delicious creamy drink made with milk, freshly cooked beetroot, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. It’s a wonderful alternative to coffee in the mornings or to enjoy it as a warm pretty drink.
The beetroot gives this homemade latte a very beautiful red-pink color, which is, by the way, the reason why this drink is also called red velvet latte. I love to make this vegan latte with freshly cooked beetroot for a very nutritious and rich drink. It’s almost like a hot smoothie, isn’t that awesome?!
How To Make Beetroot Latte
This beetroot recipe is very easy to make in only 10 minutes.
