Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Begin by brewing 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or an alternative espresso brewing method. Pour the espresso into a pre-warmed coffee cup.

Steaming Milk

  1. 2

    Steam the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Be careful not to boil the milk.

  2. 3

    Froth the Milk

    If using a frother, continue frothing the milk until it becomes creamy and has a velvety texture. If using a saucepan, whisk the milk vigorously to create foam.

Assembling the Latte

  1. 4

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings (Optional)

    Sprinkle cocoa powder on top for added flavor. Adjust sweetness by adding sugar to taste, stirring gently to incorporate.

Serving

  1. 6
