One of the pleasures of the holidays is the feasts and the snacks. The bane is the extra weight we need to lose as our New Years resolution. Here is a caffe latte recipe that might help shed some of those pounds and allow you your favorite coffee shop treat. The source for this is the weight watchers website.
Not on a diet. Try it with real sugar. Or maybe with a couple of pumps of your favorite flavoring syrup . . . Yummy!
Ingredients:
- 1-1/4 cups regular grind espresso or other dark roast coffee
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
