FAQ
1. Can I use another milk alternative?

Absolutely—almond, soy, or coconut milk all work well, though the flavor will change slightly.

2. Is this latte vegan?

Yes, as long as you choose a vegan-friendly sweetener like maple syrup or agave.

3. Can I make it caffeine-free?

Use decaf coffee or replace coffee with roasted chicory or hot cocoa.

4. How do I keep the spices from clumping?

Whisk the spices into a small amount of oat milk first, then add it back to the pot to ensure smooth blending.

5. What if I don’t like sweet drinks?

Simply reduce or omit the sweetener—oat milk already has natural sweetness.
