1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a French press to make strong coffee.
2
Heat Water
In a small saucepan, heat 240 ml of water until it reaches just below boiling. This will be used to dilute the espresso for a smoother taste.

3
Heat Milk
In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat. Stir gently to avoid scorching until it reaches about 150°F (65°C).
4
Froth Milk
Once heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and airy. If you don't have a frother, you can shake the milk in a jar with a lid vigorously until frothy.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large mug, combine the brewed espresso and hot water. Add the vanilla syrup and sweetener, if using, and stir to combine.
6
Add Frothed Milk
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture, using a spoon to hold back the foam if preferred. Top with the remaining foam.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your homemade latte!
