Espresso

Milk

Optional Toppings

Method

Prepare the Espresso

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Using a burr grinder, grind the espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.

  2. 2

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew the ground coffee with 60 ml of hot water to extract a rich shot of espresso. This should take about 25-30 seconds.

Froth the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. You can also use a microwave for this step.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

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

Assemble the Latte

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a large mug. Slowly add the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for added flavor. If desired, add sugar to taste.
