How to make the perfect latte:

Making the perfect latte doesn’t have to be complicated, and with these steps, you can easily create the perfect Valentine’s Day treat!

Start with a freshly brewed espresso shot. This is essential for a great tasting latte! The ideal espresso should be strong and robust, with a deep flavor that stands out against the other ingredients. For the best quality espresso, it’s best to use freshly ground beans that were just recently roasted.

Next, add steamed milk to your espresso shot. You can use any type of milk – almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk – but whole or 2% cow’s milk will give you the most traditional flavor and texture. When steaming the milk, try to get it as hot as possible without burning it. If you don’t have an espresso machine with a steam wand, you can heat up your favorite type of milk on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Finally, add any desired syrups or flavors for extra sweetness and taste! There are many delicious options – from classic vanilla bean syrup to more unique flavors like raspberry or hazelnut white chocolate syrup. You can also top off your latte with extra cocoa powder or spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.
