1
Brew the Espresso
Use an espresso machine to brew 2 shots of espresso. Make sure the coffee grounds are finely ground for the best extraction.

2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
3
Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it is light and creamy. Aim for a velvety texture with some microfoam.

4
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shots. Slowly add the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing it to blend together.
5
Add Flavoring
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for sweetness and sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.

6
Serve the Café Latte
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and enjoy your homemade café latte!
