Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 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.

Heat and Froth Milk

  1. 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.

  2. 3

    Froth the Milk

    Once heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and foamy.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 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.

Add Toppings

  1. 5

    Garnish

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