1
Prepare Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a coffee cup. Ensure the machine is preheated for optimal flavor extraction.
2
Add Water (Optional)
If desired, mix in 120 ml of hot water to the espresso to create an Americano base.

3
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan or milk steamer, heat 240 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, ensuring it does not boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it is light and foamy, creating microfoam.

5
Combine Ingredients
Pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso, allowing the froth to sit on top, creating a layered look.
6
Add Flavoring (Optional)
If using, drizzle 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup over the top of the latte or add sugar to taste, stirring gently to combine.
