Latte Ingredients

Method

Latte Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. If you do not have an espresso machine, you can use a strong coffee instead.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. You can also use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk simultaneously.

  3. 3

    Froth the Milk

    Using a whisk or a milk frother, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and has a velvety texture.

  4. 4

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso and then slowly add the frothed milk on top. The milk should float on top of the espresso.

  5. 5

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in sugar and vanilla extract to taste. If desired, dust the top with cocoa powder for an extra touch.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade latte!
