Soy Milk Latte
This soy milk latte is my cozy morning ritual, especially on chilly days when I want something warm but not too heavy.
I first whipped up this soy milk latte on a rainy Sunday morning when I wanted to curl up with a book and a warm drink.
I discovered that frothing the soy milk before adding it to the coffee makes all the difference in creating that creamy texture.
This recipe is special because it feels like a little act of self-care every time I make it.
Plus, it's a lovely way to start the day with something that's both comforting and plant-based.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I usually go for unsweetened soy milk to keep things simple and let the coffee shine. But if you have almond or oat milk on hand, they work beautifully too—just expect a slightly different flavor and creaminess.
Tips & Notes
- •I love using a bold espresso for that rich, full-bodied flavor.
- •Frothing the soy milk until it's nice and foamy really elevates the latte experience.
- •I keep a stash of ground cinnamon nearby to sprinkle on top for a cozy touch.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I'll add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, spiced note.
- •If I'm feeling a bit decadent, I'll swirl in some maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
Storage & Freezing
Soy milk lattes are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover steamed soy milk, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but be aware that it may separate upon reheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened soy milk?
Yes, you can use sweetened soy milk, but you may want to reduce or omit the maple syrup to avoid an overly sweet drink.
How can I make this soy milk latte cold?
To make an iced version, brew the espresso and let it cool. Combine it with chilled soy milk and ice, then froth the milk before pouring it over the coffee.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If using a coffee maker, brew a strong cup of coffee to replace the espresso.
- 2
While the coffee is brewing, heat the soy milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- 3
Once the soy milk is hot but not boiling, remove it from the heat and use a frother or whisk to froth the milk until it reaches your desired foaminess.
- 4
In a mug, combine the hot espresso or strong coffee with the vanilla extract and maple syrup, if using. Stir well.
- 5
Slowly pour the frothed soy milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create layers.
- 6
Top with the remaining foam and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
