Caffe Latte Ingredients

Method

Caffe Latte Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Brew a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.

  2. 2

    Steam the Milk

    In a small saucepan or with a steam wand, heat the milk until it is steaming and frothy, but not boiling. Aim for a temperature of around 150°F (65°C).

  3. 3

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the brewed espresso into a large cup. Slowly add the steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

  4. 4

    Add Milk Foam

    Spoon a layer of milk foam on top of the latte.

  5. 5

    Sweeten to Taste

    Add sugar if desired, and sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon for added flavor.
