Latte components

Method

Latte preparation

  1. 1

    Brew a single shot of espresso (about 30 ml) using an espresso machine or moka pot.

  2. 2

    Steam the whole milk until it reaches about 65°C (149°F) and has a velvety microfoam, yielding about 180 ml of steamed milk.

  3. 3

    Create about 30 ml of milk foam (microfoam) while keeping it airy and glossy.

  4. 4

    Pour the steamed milk into the cup with the espresso, then spoon the foam on top to form a thin layer.

  5. 5

    Optional: finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon and serve.
