Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a coffee cup. Ensure the espresso has a rich crema on top.

    Add 60 ml of hot water to the brewed espresso to adjust the strength if desired.

    Heat Milk

    In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth Milk

    Using a milk frother or steam wand, froth the hot milk until it is creamy and has a velvety texture, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Assemble Latte

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso slowly, allowing the milk to mix with the espresso.

  2. 6

    Add Flavoring (Optional)

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for sweetness or a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top for a chocolaty finish.
