Steps

  1. Brew the espresso first and let it cool for a few minutes so it won't flatten the bubbles or melt the ice too fast.
  2. Make the cardamom almond cream: in a blender, combine the cold almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla and cardamom. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and frothy.
  3. Fill two tall glasses with ice. Pour half the chilled club soda into each glass.
  4. Slowly pour half the cooled espresso into each glass so it layers over the sparkling water.
  5. Spoon half the cardamom almond cream onto each drink, letting it float on top, and serve right away with a straw for stirring.
