Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare your espresso or strong coffee using your preferred method. If using coffee, make sure it's especially robust to stand out in the latte.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Be careful not to bring the milk to a boil as it will scald.
-
Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
-
Using a frother or whisk, froth the milk until it is light and airy with a thick foam on top. This step is essential in mimicking the creamy texture of a café latte.
-
Pour your brewed espresso or strong coffee into a mug.
-
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam until you've filled the cup with milk.
-
Spoon the remaining foam on top of the latte.
-
If desired, sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder over the foam for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
-
Give your latte a gentle stir to incorporate the flavors before enjoying the warm, comforting brew.
