Start Cooking

Instructions

Brew espresso into a mug that holds about 12 ounces and stir in the brown sugar syrup.
4 fluid ounces espresso |1 tablespoon brown sugar syrup
Heat and froth the milk using a steam wand or milk frother. If needed, steam your milk in the microwave or over the stove before frothing.
6 fluid ounces milk
Pour the milk into the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then, spoon the foam on top.
Stir lightly, sprinkle with brown sugar or cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient Notes/Substitutions:

If you don't have access to espresso, substitute with an equal amount of strongly-brewed coffee.
If using dairy free milk such as oat milk or almond milk, a barista blend will give you the best latte foam.

To Froth Milk Without a Frother: Warm your milk in the microwave or on the stove just until bubbles form on the surface. Then pour it into a mason jar, seal, and shake until a layer of froth forms.

To Make an Iced Latte: Pour the espresso over ice in a 16-ounce glass. Add the milk and syrup and stir before drinking.
