Latte Ingredients

Method

Latte Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew a shot of espresso and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother.

  3. 3

    Froth the Milk

    If you have a frother, froth the heated milk until it's creamy and has a good amount of foam.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large coffee mug, pour the shot of espresso, add sugar and vanilla extract, and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture, allowing the foam to float on top.

  6. 6

    Garnish (Optional)

    Sprinkle cocoa powder on top for garnish, if desired.
