I have the pleasure and honor of developing a cafe's concept for their coffee. I am interesting in straying away from the usual flavored syrups you find in most shops. While doing this I would like to minimize the amount of sugar that is added to the process. *possibly to nill*. So if someone wanted it sweeter, I would just add simple syrup to the espresso shot before adding the steamed milk.
I know so many people that don't like or can't drink flavored lattes due to how sweet they tend to be. I would like to bring vanilla, hazlenut, and other flavors to the latte without the sweetness. I would still offer them "sweetened" version but still toned down from what you would normally find.
Anyone expirment with adding a vanilla powder to the milk prior to steaming? Any other thoughts on ways to obtain what I would like the flavor drinks to be?
