  I love the local coffee scene in Pittsburgh and grabbing a hot caffeinated treat from time to time is great, but a daily latte can hit your wallet pretty hard. When you're cutting back, here's the fix: First off, I would like to thank my brand new milk frother for making this all possible. My $40 Amazon purchase works great. Pour in your milk, press the button, and you've got hot and frothy milk in less than a minute. My first experiment was a Chai Latte. I'm not patient enough to brew real chai tea, so Oregon Chai concentrate from Trader Joes was my go-to. The process was a piece of cake. Step 1: Measure out some chai concentrate. (Suggested portions are included on the packaging.) Step 2: Warm/froth your milk of choice. Step 3: Mix together the chai and milk and dust with cinnamon. Step 4: Call yourself a barista. My second experiment was a matcha latte. I snagged some sweetened matcha latte mix from TJs and I give it 4 stars. It was subtly sweet, but not overbearing. The process is the same as above. 1. Measure. 2. Warm and froth. 3. Mix. 4. Enjoy!

I grew up in a family with huge financial problems. Unlike other kids, I was forced to work hard just to be able to study. During college, I had to work multiple part time jobs just to pay for my tuition. One of the part time jobs that I took was being a barista. To be honest, it is not a very easy job to do, in fact, it is very difficult. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a barista. Leave a Reply. |
