Ingredients

1 espresso 1 shot, 30ml
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tbsp toasted milk powder
2 tsp vanilla syrup optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

If you're using an espresso machine, grind your beans to a fine grind and brew according to the manufacturer's instructions. I make the espresso in my Moka pot by filling it with water and ground coffee, then heating it on the stovetop until the espresso is extracted.
1 espresso
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave for it to be between 150°F and 160°F (65°C and 70°C). Be careful for the milk not to boil over. Add the toasted milk powder and stir to combine.
3/4 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp toasted milk powder
Froth the milk with a handheld frother or by using an all-in-one milk frother.
Add the frothed milk to a large cup or mug, holding back the foam with a large spoon. Add the espresso and vanilla syrup (if using) and top the drink with the milk foam using the spoon.
2 tsp vanilla syrup

Notes

Milk: The type of milk you use will affect the taste and texture of your latte. Whole milk is creamier, while skim milk is lighter. Plant-based work as well.

Foam quality: The quality of the foam is important for a good latte. If you're struggling to create foam, try using a milk frother or whisk vigorously. Let it sit for a few seconds for the foam to set.
