FAQs

1. Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, you can use instant coffee, but the flavor will be different. Espresso gives that strong coffee taste that is essential for a latte.

2. How can I make the Cranberry Bliss Sauce?

You can make the sauce by blending cranberries, sugar, and a little water until it thickens. Cooking it briefly helps to blend the flavors.

3. Is there a dairy-free option for the milk?

Absolutely! You can use almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk you enjoy.

4. Can I make this drink ahead of time?

For best flavor, make it fresh. But you can prepare the sauce and espresso in advance. Just mix and froth the milk when you’re ready to drink.
