1
Prepare Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Make sure to use fresh coffee grounds for optimal flavor.

2
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Alternatively, you can froth the milk using a milk frother until it’s creamy and has a velvety texture.
3
Froth Milk (optional)
If you prefer a frothy latte, use a milk frother to froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and becomes creamy.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large coffee mug, pour the freshly brewed espresso. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for flavor.
5
Add Milk
Slowly pour the heated or frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon if you want to add it later.
6
Top with Foam
If you frothed the milk, spoon some of the foam on top of the latte.

7
Add Garnish
Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the latte for added flavor, if desired.
