There’s nothing like a delicious cup of fancy coffee or tea, and I love hot drinks even in the heat of the summer. I also tend to gravitate toward making simple tasty lattes at home like this Maple Sea Salt Latte and if you love tea this Coastal Fog Tea Latte. Not only can you save money but also you can control how sweet you want it to be.

You do not need to froth the milk but it should be warm and steamy so the sugar and spices will blend together and the latte stays nice and hot.

If using coffee pods you can also do half caffeinated to make it less strong.
