Step 3. Froth the spiced milk: Using a whisk or handheld frother, froth the spiced almond milk until it develops foam.

Tips
- Brew a strong cup of coffee for the best flavor. You can use a French press or espresso machine to make the coffee.
- If you don't have a shaker, a mason jar with a lid works perfectly too! You can also take a whisk and vigorously whisk back and forth for 15-30 seconds until the milk is frothy. A milk frother will also work.
- For iced, follow the recipe, but let the spiced milk cool down before pouring it over ice and cold brew coffee.
