Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Use an espresso machine to brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop moka pot or an Aeropress for a similar flavor.

Steaming or Heating the Milk

  1. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. If you prefer an iced latte, skip this step.

  2. 3

    Froth the Milk (Optional)

    If you want a hot latte, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it’s creamy and has a velvety texture. For an iced latte, you can simply use cold milk.

Assembling the Latte

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass or cup, pour the brewed espresso over the prepared milk. If making an iced latte, fill the glass with ice before adding the espresso.

  2. 5

    Add Sweetener

    Stir in sweetener to taste, mixing thoroughly to ensure it dissolves completely.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Add Optional Toppings

    Sprinkle cinnamon on top or add whipped cream if desired for an extra indulgent touch.
