### Blue Velvet Latte Recipe
**Ingredients:**
- 1 cup of brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1 cup of steamed milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon of blue spirulina powder (for the blue color)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Edible blue and white sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. **Brew the Coffee:** Start by brewing a strong cup of espresso or coffee.
2. **Prepare the Blue Mixture:** In a small bowl, mix the blue spirulina powder with a tablespoon of hot water to create a smooth paste. This will help to dissolve the powder and prevent clumps.
3. **Combine Ingredients:** In a mixing jug, combine the brewed espresso, the blue spirulina paste, and the vanilla syrup. Stir well to incorporate everything evenly.
4. **Steam the Milk:** Steam your milk until it's frothy and hot, creating a nice texture for your latte.
5. **Assemble the Latte:** In a serving glass, pour the blue espresso mixture first. Then, gently pour the steamed milk over it, allowing the colors to swirl together beautifully.
6. **Garnish:** Top with whipped cream if desired and sprinkle with edible blue and white sprinkles for a fun touch.
7. **Serve:** Enjoy your vibrant Blue Velvet Latte, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a unique coffee experience!
This drink not only looks stunning but also provides a deliciously smooth flavor profile with the sweetness of vanilla and the richness of espresso. Enjoy your creative coffee adventure!
