1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of fresh espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop Moka pot.
2
Add Water
If desired, dilute the espresso shots with 60 ml of hot water to create an Americano-style base.

3
Prepare Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 240 ml of milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Once heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it forms a velvety foam. If you don't have a frother, you can shake the milk in a jar with a lid until frothy.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso (or Americano if diluted) into a large mug. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso while holding back the foam with a spoon.
6
Add Foam
Spoon the frothy milk foam on top of the latte.
7
Sweeten (Optional)
If desired, add 1 tsp of sugar and stir gently to combine.
8
Garnish (Optional)
Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the froth for added flavor.
