Lattes Without Breaking The Bank

Everyone loves lattes but if you buy one everyday from the well-known coffee shops, it pretty much breaks your weekly budget. I make these lattes for us every morning, I just have a coffee maker, coffee and milk and it only takes a few minutes.

2% Lowfat Milk (use fat free or 1% low fat, it doesn't matter)
Hot Coffee
Fat Free French Vanilla (Nestle's Coffee Mate)

Take a large coffee cup, fill it one third of the way with the lowfat milk. Place the milk in the microwave and heat until hot. All microwaves are different so it will vary but mine takes about 75 seconds to heat up to almost boiling. Take a small wisk and beat the milk until frothy. Add coffee and the French Vanilla Coffee Mate and you've got a great cup of coffee to start your morning. Honestly, when I have out of town guests, I make this for them and they're surprised how creamy and tasty it is...try it and let me know what you think.
