Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Water

    Heat 60 ml of water to just below boiling (around 90-95°C) to mix with the espresso if desired.

Frothing the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a saucepan or using a milk steamer, heat 1 cup of whole milk until it is hot but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the hot milk until it becomes light and airy, creating a thick foam.

Assembling the Latte

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Water

    In a large cup, pour the brewed espresso shots. If you prepared water, mix it with the espresso.

  2. 6

    Add Milk and Flavor

    Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon powder on top.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade latte!
