Leap Legend Latte
As we approach the last week of February, I am reminded that February 29 ought to be a national holiday. It isn't, but the least I can do is prepare a good coffee recipe for the day.
Leap Year Coffee Recipe: "Leap Legend Latte"
Ingredients
- 2 shots of Skeleton Brew's "Bone Rattler" espresso Bone Rattler
- 1 cup of frothed almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of blue agave nectar
- A pinch of matcha powder
- Whipped cream
- Edible gold flakes
- Blue and green sprinkles for a leap year celebration
Instructions
Step 1: The Energizing Elixir
Begin by brewing two shots of the Bone Rattler espresso, a medium roast breakfast blend with twice the caffeine, symbolizing the extra energy leap year brings.
Step 2: The Milky Way
Froth the almond milk until it's light and airy. Almond milk is chosen for its smooth and nutty flavor, adding a unique twist to the latte.
Step 3: The Sweetness of Time
Stir in the blue agave nectar into the frothed milk. The blue agave nectar represents the rarity and sweetness of experiencing an extra day in the year.
Step 4: The Green Galaxy
Sprinkle a pinch of matcha powder into the milk mixture, giving it a vibrant green hue. This symbolizes the renewal and growth associated with the leap year.
Step 5: The Celestial Pour
Pour the espresso into a large cup, followed by the matcha-infused almond milk, creating a mesmerizing blend of colors and flavors.
Step 6: The Whipped Clouds
Top the latte with a swirl of whipped cream, symbolizing the clouds hovering over this special day.
Step 7: The Glimmer of Rarity
Sprinkle edible gold flakes over the whipped cream, along with blue and green sprinkles. These represent the preciousness and celebratory spirit of Leap Year.
Step 8: The Leap Legend Latte
Serve the Leap Legend Latte as a tribute to this extraordinary day. Each sip is a reminder of the rare and special moments that Leap Year brings, perfectly embodying the spirit of celebration and wonder.

Thank you!
Sounds more like a story than a recipe! I don't think I've ever seen so many ingredients to prepare a coffee, it must be a galactic experience to try this one in particular! 😁
Haha, thank you! I really enjoy putting these together, particularly when they end up really tasty!
Definitely whenever we have an option to celebrate, we should implement it with an amazing coffee recipe, I am going to implement one of my own for this day. Thank you for such an attractive recipe
There's always a good reason for coffee! In fact, I think I'm going to go make another one right now. 😂 thanks for dropping in!
Awesome recipe and enticing directions, as always! 😄 I had actually totally forgotten that there was a February 29th this year haha

February 29 is a good reason for another coffee! I mean, there's always a good reason for another coffee, but this is Another Good Reason (tm) 😁
I'm not sure about that drink ! LOL.... but it does seem like there should be some sort of celebration for the extra leap year day. It only makes sense and you only have to commit to it every 4 years. I have a nephew that was born on this leap year day, so his family has to celebrate on the 28th on the other years. If the other years don't count, he's only about 9 years old now.
