Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a pre-warmed cup. Make sure to use high-quality coffee beans for the best flavor.

Heat and Froth Milk

  1. 2

    Heat Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. If using a frother, froth the milk until it has a creamy texture.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Espresso and Milk

    Pour the brewed espresso into a large mug. Gradually add the heated and frothed milk on top of the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon if you want to add it separately.

Add Flavoring

    Flavor Your Latte

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and sugar to taste to the latte mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Garnish (Optional)

    Top Your Latte

    If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder or add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the latte for an extra touch.
