Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, or 1 tea bag (black, chai, or green)
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- If making a coffee latte, brew 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong coffee. If making a tea latte, steep the tea bag in 1/4 cup hot water for 3-5 minutes, then remove the bag.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling. Alternatively, froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk vigorously until foamy.
- Pour the hot coffee or concentrated tea into a mug. Add sugar or sweetener if desired and stir to dissolve.
- Pour the steamed milk over the coffee or tea, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon the foam on top.
- Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a dairy-free latte, use oat, almond, or soy milk. Oat milk froths particularly well.
- Adjust the strength by using more or less coffee/tea concentrate.
- For an iced latte, cool the coffee/tea and milk, then pour over ice.
