How to Make an Instagramable Pink Beet Latte
This is the beverage built for resolutions. Save money by skipping the usual from your favorite coffee shop and make this tasty treat at home. Lattes aren’t just for coffee anymore, you can explore other options like this caffeine-free beet drink. A veggie latte may seem quite unconventional, but chances are you already have the ingredients that you need to make it in your kitchen! Rather than loading up on calorie-laden hot drinks to battle the cold, you can warm up with a healthy beet latte!
Why use beets? In addition to their gorgeous pink color, beets are low in calories and packed with nutrients. The spice of the ginger and cinnamon gives this vegan concoction a delightful kick and balances out the sweetness of the honey.
Most coffee drinks go from scalding hot (160°F+) to lukewarm in a matter of minutes. Thanks to the technology of Ember, you can enjoy your drink at its optimal temperature for longer. We recommend that you enjoy this beverage at 137°F in your Ember Mug²!
