Coffee Base

Milk

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Coffee

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a small cup or shot glass. Make sure the espresso has a rich crema on top.

  2. 2

    Heat the Water

    In a small saucepan, heat 60 ml of water until it is hot but not boiling. This will help to dilute the espresso slightly if desired.

Steaming the Milk

  1. 3

    Steam the Milk

    Pour 240 ml of whole milk into a steam pitcher. Use a steam wand to steam the milk until it reaches a temperature of about 65-70°C (149-158°F) and creates a velvety microfoam.

  2. 4

    Add Vanilla Syrup

    Once the milk is steamed, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to the milk and gently stir to combine.

Assembling the Double Latte

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Water

    In your serving cup, pour the brewed espresso and add the heated water. This will enhance the flavor of the double latte.

  2. 6

    Pour the Steamed Milk

    Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to let the milk flow first.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top your double latte with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flavor and decoration.
