]]> If you are a fan of the coffee shop or cafe experience, but not so much the coffee, there are many different latte variations you might enjoy trying. Some even have little to no caffeine making them a delicious alternative to coffee. Keep reading for a short list of some of our favorite beverages without the coffee.

Golden Milk Latte

Golden Milk lattes or turmeric lattes are a delicious and festive blend of turmeric, cinnimon, and hot milk of choice. The latte is comforting and has many known health benefits including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The beverage is easy to make at home as well and is best served hot.

Matcha Lattes

Matcha has taken the cafe world by storm and with good reason. The Japanese green tea is excellent served hot or iced with your favorite milk and has many proven health benefits like antioxidant properties. Matcha also has a decent amount of caffeine in it, if you’re looking for a less caffeinated option.

Chai Lattes

Chai lattes are another staple in many coffee shops for their aromatic, warm, and comforting flavors. Many are made with cardamon and cinnamon and a homemade blend is even better. Most coffee shops will offer their own variations of the beverage, and some may mix it with matcha or an espresso shot to make dirty chais!

Most of us are familiar with the normal Starbucks items that you can get at most shops, but did you know that Starbucks offers some truly strange drinks around the world? Here are the four weirdest.

Churro Frappuccino

  5. Strain the mixture and keep it in a jar to use for lattes!
  6. To make the latte, add in 1/2 cup of the chai to a cup, and heat up 3/4 cup of any type of milk on the stove or in the microwave. You can also add in another tablespoon of maple syrup if you like it sweet and cinnamon if you want it spicier.
