1
Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. Ensure the water temperature is around 90-95°C for optimal extraction.
2
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until steaming. Do not let it boil. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother to steam the milk.
3
Froth the Milk
Once the milk is hot, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it reaches a creamy texture with microfoam.

4
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shots. If desired, add 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup for sweetness.
5
Add the Frothed Milk
Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the milk to mix.
6
Top with Foam
Spoon the frothed milk on top of the latte. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for added flavor.
