Latte Ingredients

Method

Latte Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a large coffee mug. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine Baileys and Sugar

    In a separate small container, mix 1 oz of BaileysⓇ Irish Cream and 1 tsp of sugar until well combined. This will sweeten the latte.

  3. 3

    Steam the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 6 oz of milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil. Use a milk frother or whisk to foam the milk until it’s light and frothy.

  4. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    Pour the Baileys and sugar mixture into the brewed espresso. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Steamed Milk

    Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso and Baileys mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

  6. 6

    Top with Foam

    Spoon the frothed milk foam on top of the latte, creating a nice layer of foam.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Finish by sprinkling 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the foam and adding 2 tbs of whipped cream. Optionally, top with chocolate shavings to taste.
