Latte Base

Method

Preparing the Latte

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Start by brewing two shots of fresh espresso using your espresso machine. If you do not have an espresso machine, you can use a strong coffee alternative.

  2. 2

    Steam the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk steamer, heat 1 cup of milk until it is hot but not boiling. Use a whisk or frother to create a frothy texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mug, pour in the brewed espresso, followed by the vanilla syrup. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add the Steamed Milk

    Gently pour the steamed milk into the mug with the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a smooth surface.

Adding Seasonal Flavor

  1. 5

    Incorporate Pumpkin Puree

    Add 3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (or your chosen seasonal fruit puree) to the latte base and stir until fully incorporated.

  2. 6

    Add Pumpkin Spice

    Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice (or seasonal spice blend) and mix well to combine with the puree and latte.

  3. 7

    Top with Whipped Cream

    Spoon 1 cup of whipped cream on top of the latte and spread it evenly.

  4. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle ground cinnamon (about 0.5 tsp) over the whipped cream as a garnish for added flavor and presentation.
