1
Brew the Espresso
Begin by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Ensure the coffee grounds are freshly ground for the best flavor.
2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching. Heat until the milk is steaming but not boiling.
3
Incorporate Orange Zest
Once the milk is heated, add 1 teaspoon of house orange zest to the milk. Stir gently to combine and infuse the orange flavor into the milk.
4
Mix Espresso and Milk
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shots. Slowly add the orange-infused milk on top, allowing the two to blend together.
5
Add Belizean Cacao
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Belizean cacao over the top of the latte for a rich, chocolatey flavor.
6
Garnish with Shaved Colombian Cacao
Finish by adding 1 tablespoon of shaved Colombian cacao on top and garnish with an additional teaspoon of orange zest for a burst of citrus aroma.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Orange Zest Latte.
