Learn how to make a creamy cacao collagen latte at home using Mayde Tea's Cacao Collagen Powder. Step-by-step guide with tips for the perfect drink.
Quick answer
To make a latte with Cacao Collagen Powder, whisk the powder with a small amount of warm water into a smooth paste, then add your choice of hot milk or milk alternative and stir well.
Why the paste method works best
Cacao Collagen Powder contains natural fats and collagen peptides that can clump if added directly to hot liquid. Creating a paste first ensures a silky, lump-free drink without needing an electric frother.
Choosing your milk base
The powder blends well with dairy milk, oat milk, or almond milk. For a creamier texture, use full-fat milk or barista-style plant milk. Avoid boiling the milk – overheating can affect the collagen peptides and create a grainy feel.
How to make your cacao collagen latte in 4 steps
- 1. Heat your liquid base: Warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk or water to around 140°F (60°C) – hot but not boiling. Overheating can degrade the collagen and cause clumping. Use a thermometer or test with a clean finger; it should feel pleasantly hot, not scalding.
- 2. Make a smooth paste: In a separate mug, combine 1 heaping tablespoon (about 10 g) of Cacao Collagen Powder with 2 tablespoons of warm liquid from step 1. Stir or whisk until no dry powder remains. If you see lumps, continue whisking – adding more liquid too early makes lumps harder to break.
- 3. Combine and stir: Pour the remaining warm liquid into the paste while stirring continuously. Use a spoon or small whisk for even incorporation. Stir in one direction to avoid introducing air bubbles that create a frothy, uneven texture.
- 4. Serve immediately: Pour into your favorite mug. Optionally top with a dusting of cinnamon or cacao nibs. Drink within 10 minutes for best flavor and texture. The powder contains coconut nectar that settles over time – a quick stir before each sip keeps it evenly sweet.
