Basic Latte
Yield: Single Serving 12 oz
Ingredients
2 teaspoons espresso powder (I use Trader Joe’s 100% Instant Colombian Coffee)
4 oz hot water
8 oz milk, cream, or milk substitute
Optional: Simple Syrup, Sugar, Sugar substitute, Cinnamon
Method
- Mix espresso powder or instant coffee with hot water. Set aside. At this point you would add the sugar, simple syrup, etc.
- Heat 8 oz (1 cup) milk
- Add milk to a French Press (or shake cold milk in a Mason Jar for an iced latte) and press up and down until the froth to liquid ratio is equal 50/50, about 1 minute.
- Pour milk into hot coffee and then spoon over the froth mixture to your liking.
- I use a zester/microplane to zest a bit of cinnamon to the froth to make it extra fancy!
Enjoy!
