1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a large coffee mug.
2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 cup of milk until steaming, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
3
Froth the Milk
Once the milk is heated, use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and has a velvety texture.
4
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothy milk over the brewed espresso in the mug. Use a spoon to hold back the foam while pouring to create a layered effect.
5
Add Sweetener and Flavor (optional)
Stir in sugar and vanilla extract if using. Adjust sweetness to taste.
6
Garnish (optional)
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the foam for garnish if desired.
7
Serve
Serve the latte immediately while hot. Enjoy!
