1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 1 shot of espresso using 30 ml of water. Ensure that the coffee grounds are tamped evenly for optimal extraction.

2
Heat the Milk
Pour 240 ml of milk into a small saucepan or a milk frother. Heat the milk gently over medium heat, but do not let it boil.
3
Froth the Milk
Once heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and foamy.

4
Assemble the Latte
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup or chocolate syrup for flavor. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to rise to the top.

5
Garnish
Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the foam and add whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately.
