Method
Preparing the Espresso
- 1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 1 shot of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a French press.
Steaming the Milk
- 2
Steam the Milk
Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a steaming pitcher. Use the steam wand of your espresso machine to steam the milk until it reaches a temperature of around 150°F (65°C) and creates a velvety microfoam. If you don't have a steam wand, you can heat the milk in a saucepan and whisk it vigorously to create foam.
Combining Ingredients
- 3
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso. If using, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for flavor. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect. Once the milk is poured, spoon the foam on top.
Garnishing (optional)
- 4
Garnish your Latte
Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the foam for added flavor and presentation if desired.
