Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz freshly brewed coffee of choice bold, medium, light or blonde Note: I used medium roast.
  • 1/2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar light or dark Note: I like the dark a little better because it gives a richer molasses hint.
  • 1/4 cup plant milk of choice almond, macadamia, oat, cashew, soy Note: with my experiments, I thought the macadamia and almond were the best choices for this latte.

Instructions
 

  • Brew eight ounces coffee of choice. While hot, add honey and brown sugar, stirring briskly until dissolved. Note: If making iced latte, place coffee mixture in fridge to cool for at least 20-30 minutes.
  • If making an iced latte: Fill desired glass, jar, mug or cup 3/4 full of ice. Add cooled coffee mixture, then milk of choice. Top with ice teddy bear, extra drizzle of honey, or frothed milk and enjoy!
  • If making a hot latte: Pour milk into hot coffee mixture. If you prefer a creamy frothed latte, add coffee and milk into a mason jar, place lid on tightly and shake vigorously. Alternatively, use an electric frother.
  • How to make the brown 3D ice teddy bear for drinks: I first ordered a 3D silicone bear mold from Amazon like this one: CLICK HERE. The brown color I achieved was using a 2:1 ratio of black coffee and milk. Two parts coffee and 1 part milk make a lighter brown teddy bear. You can change to your liking for desired color or even use food coloring and milk for a pink, blue or purple bear. Stir mixture together well for an even color.
  • Next, place bear silicone mold upside down on a study tray or small plate that will fit into your freezer. Fill mold, leaving at least 1/4 inch space at top of mold for expansion when fully frozen. Freeze for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. When ready to use, carefully unmold bear from mold.
