1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew two shots of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop, etc.).
2
Steam the Milk
Heat and steam the whole milk until it reaches a temperature of about 150°F (65°C), creating a velvety microfoam. Use a milk frother or steam wand for best results.
3
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a cup, then slowly add the steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon. Aim for a 1:3 ratio of espresso to milk.
4
Finishing Touches
If desired, add sugar or sweetener to taste. Optionally, you can create latte art with the foam on top.
