Latte Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. You can also use a milk frother for this step.

  3. 3

    Froth the Milk

    If using a frother, froth the heated milk until it is creamy and has a light foam on top.

  4. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    Pour the brewed espresso into a mug. Add sugar and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Top with the remaining foam.

  6. 6

    Garnish (optional)

    Sprinkle cocoa powder on top for added flavor and garnish.
