Coffee Base

Method

Prepare the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine or an alternative brewing method, brew 2 shots of espresso. If using a stovetop espresso maker, add water to the bottom chamber and coffee grounds to the top chamber, then heat until brewed.

  2. 2

    Set Aside

    Once brewed, set the espresso aside to allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the milk.

Steam the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat Milk

    In a saucepan or using a milk steamer, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat. If using a milk frother, pour the milk into the frother.

  2. 4

    Froth Milk

    If using a saucepan, whisk the milk vigorously as it heats until it becomes frothy. If using a steamer, steam until the milk is hot and frothy.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Mix Espresso and Milk

    Pour the prepared espresso into a large mug. Slowly add the frothed milk on top, allowing the foam to sit on the surface.

  2. 6

    Add Flavoring (Optional)

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for sweetness and sprinkle cinnamon on top for added flavor.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade latte!
