1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker, brew 2 shots of espresso. Set aside.
2
Heat Water
In a small saucepan, heat 60 ml of water until it reaches a simmer. Pour over the brewed espresso to dilute slightly if desired.

3
Heat Milk
In a separate saucepan, gently heat 240 ml of milk until it's hot but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and has a nice foam.
5
Add Vanilla Syrup
Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup into the frothed milk for added flavor.

6
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed espresso (and heated water if using). Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon.
7
Top with Foam
Add the remaining foam from the frothing process on top of the latte.
8
Garnish (Optional)
Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor, if desired.
9
Serve
Enjoy your homemade latte while it's hot!
