There are many latte flavors out there, but this one really encompasses the Norwegian spirit. It starts with a handful of warm spices - cardamom, cinnamon, allspice and vanilla - infused into whole milk before a good amount of Brunost is melted into it. It’s creamy and rich, and perfectly indulgent to warm you from the cold. Recipe by Nevada Berg.
Ingredients
- 2 cup milk
- 1 Cinnamon stick (small)
- 0.5 Vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 0.5 tsp allspice pods
- 0.5 tsp cardamom pods, lightly crushed
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar or honey
- 4.4 oz Ski Queen®/Gudbrandsdalen, sliced or grated, plus more for serving
- 1 A large dollop of whipped cream to serve
Creamy Spiced Brunost Latte
Here is how you do it
In a medium saucepan warm the milk, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean and seeds, allspice pods, and cardamom pods over medium-low heat. Once warm, lower the heat and gently warm for another 15 minutes to let the flavors infuse. Strain the milk through a mesh strainer into a container, discarding the spices, and return the milk back to the saucepan. Increase the heat to medium, whisk in the sugar and brunost, and cook until everything is fully incorporated. Give it a good whisk in the end to froth up the milk. Divide the brunost latte into individual mugs and serve immediately with soft peaks of whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated brunost on top.
For a coffee latte, just pour some of this over a shot of espresso. It’s divine!
