Farmhouse Latte

Recipe
Written By Lindsey Kosut

I always start my day with my coffee and my Bible. What I don’t always get to is breakfast. On our farm animals eat first and sometimes things happen, so my tummy has to take a backseat to the issues at hand. But a Latte made with high quality ingredients like grass-fed, raw milk and a fresh egg can keep me going for hours.

Ingredients

  • 1 Fresh Egg

  • Quality Organic Fresh Ground Coffee/Espresso

  • Raw Whole Milk or Raw Cream

  • Honey (to taste)

  • Cinnamon or Vanilla (Optional)

Optional Add-In’s

  • Bovine Colostrum (I freeze dry it for a local A2 Grassfed dairy in exchange for a small portion.)

  • Beef Collagen Peptides (Add to milk before frothing)

  • Roasted Chicory Root (We add this occasionally to the coffee grounds when we brew. It is strong and yummy!)

Directions

  • Begin to brew coffee to desired amount and strength keep very hot. I use a stainless Moka Pot to brew espresso.

  • Crack 1 egg into cup and whip vigorously to combine white and yolk. You can also do just the yolk for a creamier consistency but I use both to increase my protein.

Option One - To Temper Egg by hand (No Milk Frother)

  • Begin to drizzle hot coffee very slowly into egg while whipping vigorously about a tablespoon at a time. This will temper the egg and allow it to combine with the coffee. Continue to add coffee a little at a time until the desired amount of coffee is in the cup. The egg should just thicken the coffee, it should not scramble.

  • Add honey and optional cinnamon or vanilla to coffee to your taste and stir to combine.

  • Whip milk/cream with whisk by hand until light and airy.

Option Two - Milk Frother (Much easier, especially if this is part of your morning routine.)

  • Add milk, fresh raw egg, and any extras you may want and froth to desired consistency and temp.

  • Sometimes some of my add-ins, particularly my colostrum, inhibit the maximum froth so I will run the egg, add-ins, and half of the cream add to my coffee. Then froth the other half alone for maximum froth!

  • Either method add your Milk/Cream to hot coffee.

  • Garnish with Cinnamon or lightly drizzled honey and enjoy.
