**Hadouken Latte**
*Inspired by the famous move from the Street Fighter video game series, this latte packs a powerful punch of flavor and energy!*
### Ingredients:
1. 1 shot (30ml) of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee
2. 1 cup of milk (whole milk, almond, oat, or any milk of your choice)
3. 1 tsp matcha powder (for that "energy" green color)
4. 1/2 tsp blue spirulina powder (for a vibrant blue undertone)
5. 1 tsp vanilla extract
6. 1-2 tsp sweetener of choice (e.g., sugar, honey, agave, or stevia)
7. A pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper (for that extra fiery kick!)
8. Whipped cream (optional)
9. Blue and green sprinkles or edible glitter (for garnish, optional)
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Espresso/Coffee:** Brew a shot of espresso or your strong coffee and pour it into your favorite mug.
2. **Prepare the Spirulina & Matcha Mixture:** In a small bowl, mix the blue spirulina powder and matcha powder with a little bit of hot water until you get a smooth paste.
3. **Heat & Froth the Milk:** In a saucepan, heat the milk on a medium flame. Do not let it boil. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk until it's creamy and has some volume. If you don't have one, a good whisk will do.
4. **Flavor the Milk:** Add the spirulina-matcha mixture, vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener to the milk. Stir well until everything is combined and the milk turns a mystical bluish-green color.
5. **Add the Fiery Kick:** Sprinkle the pinch of cinnamon or cayenne into your espresso. This will give the latte its distinctive "hadouken" kick. If you're not a fan of heat, you can skip this step.
6. **Combine & Serve:** Pour the flavored milk into the mug with the espresso, holding back the froth with a spoon. Then, spoon the froth over the top.
7. **Garnish (Optional):** If you're feeling extra fancy, add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with blue and green edible glitter or sprinkles for that added hadouken effect.
8. **Enjoy** your powerful Hadouken Latte and let it energize your day!
*Note:* Adjust the amount of matcha, spirulina, and sweetener to suit your taste. The idea is to capture the essence of the Hadouken with its vibrant colors and powerful flavor!
