Foam the nut milk and latte mix in a milk frother. Pour into a cup and serve hot. If you don’t have a milk frother, or if yours is not large enough to hold a cup of milk, warm the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat; once it is simmering, pour into an upright blender, add the latte mix, and blend until frothy.
