    Actually tried this the first time this morning... half teaspoon of panela in the jug for my wifes latte and she commented on how nice it was without me telling her I did it. Gave the milk a slight caramel look too.

      Had to Google Panela Panela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia very alternative.

        It started appearing in a few cafes in my area (Gold Coast/Brisbane) instead of sugar a couple of years ago. Although its much more expensive than sugar ($16/kg), it lasts a long time only using a half teaspoon per day!

        I don't have sugar personally but it gives another layer of flavour, especially to milky coffees and directly on the tongue has a nice fruity acidity... and sweetness.

          Hi okitoki

          A good part of that is probably due to the fact that when you froth milk to latte art quality, it still has a wide range of possible tastes. When you get it "exactly correct" it picks up a lot of extra sweetness.

          Sounds like you have nailed how to froth milk properly, unlike 99% of cafes who barely get it within latte art range and often scald it past pallbearer territory.
