Brewed Coffee

Optional Flavoring

Method

Brewing the Coffee

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    In a coffee maker or French press, add 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee to the filter or press. Heat 240 ml of water to just below boiling (about 200°F or 93°C) and pour it over the coffee grounds.

  2. 2

    Brew

    Let the coffee brew for about 4-5 minutes, then pour into a cup, discarding the grounds.

Steaming the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat. Stir gently and do not let it boil.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Once the milk is steaming, use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk until it is light and foamy.

Assembling the Caffe Latte

  1. 5

    Combine

    Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, then gently pour the steamed and frothed milk over the coffee, allowing the foam to float on top.

  2. 6

    Add Flavoring

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to taste. Stir gently to combine.
