more me loves lattes - a video tutorial

the best part of this was who taped me.

my bowl of oranges.

i nestled my phone amongst the juicy orange balls and shot my first "me=goober" video.  and let me tell you, those oranges didn't laugh at me at all.  it was great having a captive, silent audience.

i chose my dairy free latte for two reasons: #1 - because i love it so much  #2 - it's the single most frequently asked question: "how in the world (or insert your own fun word here) do you live without dairy milk?  ...the sheer blasphemy of it all!  so, here i am again with my crazy-good-dairy-free concoction.  you can find the previous post about my love affair here.

we don't have any dairy milk in the house.  mac was highly allergic to it as a baby, abbie has always disliked it.  so, it wasn't very hard for me to cut it out of the kids' diets.  my diet though...that was another story.  me = kicking and screaming.

the straight jacket didn't stay on long and i'm now a much saner, zit-free version of my previous self.

i drink, bake and cook with this rice/coconut milk combination with spectacular results.

here she is - my virgin, 1-take, orange-assisted video:)  happy monday fun day.

aaaaaAAAAAND ACTION!

can you hear the choirs of angels singing?  aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  i am revealing my most precious concoction with you today.  i mean, i really should keep this a secret - it's that good.  maybe i'll start a mullies cafe in my cozy hometown...i do fantasize about it.  i would make it look just like meryl streep's bakery in the movie it's complicated.

isn't it lovely?

a dairy & gluten free bakery for my local foodies:

ok, back to the topic of lattes:

before you say no way jose, don't touch my diary, i mean dairy, you crazy laaaaaady...you really must try it.  this dairy free love potion can be used for any dairy or soy substitute.

lattes

hot cocoa

smoothies

and on and on

how do you like your coffee?  you can grind fresh coffee or instant (i use instant pretty much every time...)  or you can use your k-cups (but make an espresso amount...my chimmie laura makes it perfect!) or what what, see that dandy blend above!?  it is super delish - read more about it's awesomeness here.  i like to use it at night when i really want a latte but not all the caffeine.

hosting some crazy relatives for the holidays who are dairy free?  

well thank me very much:)

the mullies loves lattes recipe

(makes 2 cups)

1 c organic rice milk

add about 2 T of coconut milk (i eyeball it)

nuke it for 1.5 minutes 

froth it with your aerolatte wand (or not...who cares if santa doesn't bring it)

pour enough hot coffee/tea down the middle & top that baby off

(i dissolve 3 tsp of instant coffee in 1 cup of boiling water)

the strength is all up to you!

is 2 cups the wrong amount?

no worries:

simply fill your mug up half way with rice milk, add the coconut milk, nuke &

top it off with the piping hot coffee/tea.

BAM

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa

it's my holiday present to you.

i hope you like it:)
