Ingredients:
- 1 shot of espresso (or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon of sweetener (optional)
- A sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Brew the Perfect Espresso: - Use the Primula Stovetop Espresso Maker.
2. Heat and Froth the Milk: - Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it starts to steam. - For extra foaminess, you can use a handheld milk frother or a whisk. Vigorously whisk the heated milk until it becomes frothy and creamy. Keep an eye on it to prevent boiling.
3. Combine Espresso and Milk: - Now comes the fun part! Grab your favorite mug and pour in the shot of espresso or the brewed coffee. - Slowly pour the frothy milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam if you prefer a more traditional latte. - Gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors.
4. Sweeten to Taste: - If you like your latte on the sweeter side, add a tablespoon of your preferred sweetener (sugar, honey, or flavored syrups). - Stir well to ensure the sweetener is evenly distributed.
5. Add a Finishing Touch: - To make your latte extra Instagram-worthy, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top. - You can get creative with latte art if you're feeling adventurous. Draw a heart, a leaf, or even a cute little bear - it's your masterpiece!
