Wattleseed Caffee Latte or Wattlecino is a unique twist to the regular latte, which originated in Australia. Wattleseed is a native Australian ingredient that is known for its unique roasted, nutty and chocolatey flavour. This recipe replaces the regular espresso shot with wattleseed powder, which gives the latte a unique twist. It is dairy-free and can be made with any plant-based milk, making it a vegan-friendly option. Wattleseed is also a good source of antioxidants and protein which makes it a healthier option than the regular latte.

2.	Grind the roasted wattleseed into a fine powder and sprinkle about 15g of it into your coffee cup.
3.	Prepare your steamed milk using a milk frother or saucepan.
4.	Pour the steamed milk over the wattleseed powder and stir gently.
