Coffee For Lactose Intolerant - Skinny Latte & Soy Latte

Post as at Take The Plunge Coffee Blog - Written by Urzay G
As the knowledge that soy and low fat products are of importance for some with health issues - in many Australians as well as the Americans, and the English, prompts me to write this quick, short post on skinny latte & soy latte - along with it being suggested by a social media buddy too.

Some of us have problems with lactose intolerance, others just don't like the taste of milk, some people have allergies to dairy - yet we love our coffee so rich and creamy like lattes and cappuccinos - so what can we do about this - well a friend suggested that I write a  post on soy latte - I personally do not like soy milk or soy products although I do like to go vegetarian most of the time - anyway back to the post - well I have my lattes and cappuccinos with skim milk.

The only problem with using soy rather than dairy, whether - whole milk, skim or low fat - is that soy does not get quite foamy enough as the dairy milks do - I read this on another blog post here at Jolinda's Vegetarian Food Blog - Also quoted on Jolinda's blog is that "the secret to getting a nice foamy soy latte is getting the soy milk extra hot before steaming it. Or, apparently, using a specially formulated soy milk!

Out there, there are many products on the market to suggest we can make the perfect soy latte at home just by doing a little internet surfing. As soy latte is becoming more and more popular with the general public, it would be highly unlikely that a soy milk manufacturing company would not jump at the idea of perfecting a soy milk that will froth up to the max - for our favourite coffee beverage - it would be a mistake for those involved in soy manufacture to dismiss the fact that serious soy lovers (or ones who need to consume soy) want that soy latte or soy cappuccino (I don't even know if soy cappuccino has been invented yet, as I was saying I don't particularly like soy).

From my short experience as a Take-Away shop attendant many years ago - I found that skim milk froths well - as long as you follow the rules of temperature - can't remember - was so long ago - any way there are also different brands of skim - low-fat - no-fat milks - that are specifically designed for skinny lattes and skinny cappuccinos. One of my colleagues told me, they use crema milk at a favourite Maryborough QLD Espresso bar - (website in the process of being built at this time - will add link when their site is up and running) This is a creamy minimal fat content milk and add substance to their beverages they serve.
