Yolky Latte
A modern twist on an old Russian tradition. This recipe uses whipped egg yolks and natural sweeteners to create a rich, creamy coffee that’s as nourishing as it is flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 pasture-raised egg yolk
- 1 tsp raw organic cane sugar, honey or maple syrup
- 1 scoop grass-fed collagen
- 2 shots espresso (can sub brewed coffee)
- 8 oz raw milk, steamed
- 1 dash cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Take one pasture raised egg, separate the white from the yolk.
- In the bottom of your mug, whip the egg yolk and sweetener of choice together by hand to a custard-like consistency. This takes just a minute.
- Add 1 scoop of grass fed collagen and whip until it is smooth and creamy
- Optional add ins here: see notes for variations
- Add a double shot of espresso, slowly poor espresso into egg yolk mixture while siting continuously.
- Steam 8oz of raw milk, or milk of your choice.
- Finally, top with 8oz of raw milk, steamed.
- For a fancy addition, I'll top with my egg white marshmallows and some cinnamon. See variations for other options!
Notes
- Recipe variations:
- Iced Yolk Latte – Make any of these variations iced by following steps 1-3, then adding the milk cold, instead of steamed. Serve over ice and enjoy!
- Brown sugar latte - Substitute the sweetener with brown sugar, follow the other steps as listed.
- Vanilla Bean Latte – Add a splash of vanilla or vanilla bean paste.
- Salted Caramel Latte – Stir in homemade caramel and a pinch of sea salt.
- High-Protein Frappe – Blend all ingredients with ice (bonus points for adding a scoop of raw milk ice cream!).
- Pumpkin Spice Latte – Add 1 tablespoon of fresh pumpkin and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Maple Sage Latte – Sweeten with maple syrup and add a dash of sage (trust me on this one!).
