Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon chocolate malt powder, like Ovaltine (see note 2)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, (see note 3)
  • pinch sea salt
  • 3 ounce brewed espresso, (see note 4)
  • 6 ounce unsweetened almond milk, (see note 5)

Instructions

  • Measure the chocolate malt powder and maple syrup into a small coffee cup; add a pinch of sea salt. Brew the espresso directly into the cup and stir to combine the ingredients.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar halfway with ice. Fill a serving glass halfway with ice.
  • Pour the espresso mixture into the cocktail shaker, close the lid and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Strain the espresso into the serving glass. Top off the glass with almond milk.

Notes

  1. Use a 16-oz glass to serve this drink. It is equivalent to a grande at Starbucks.
  2. DIY your own chocolate malt powder by combining 5 parts plain malted milk powder (like Carnation or King Arthur) and 3 parts unsweetened cocoa powder. You can also substitute chocolate powder/cocoa mix or chocolate syrup/chocolate sauce (both will add more sweetness).
  3. In place of maple syrup, use granulated, brown or coconut sugar, or simple syrup. It’s easy to make your own simple syrup by dissolving 1 part white sugar in 1 part water.
  4. Very strong coffee can be used instead of espresso.
  5. Unsweetened milk alternatives: regular almond milk for extra sweetness, vanilla-flavored almond milk for another flavor component, regular dairy milk or another plant-based option like oat, cashew or soy milk.
