Title: Latte
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of strong brewed espresso or very strong coffee
– 1 cup of milk
– 2 tablespoons of sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– Cinnamon or cocoa powder for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
4. 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.
5. Pour your brewed espresso or strong coffee into a mug.
6. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam until you’ve filled the cup with milk.
7. Spoon the remaining foam on top of the latte.
8. If desired, sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder over the foam for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
9. Give your latte a gentle stir to incorporate the flavors before enjoying the warm, comforting brew.
