Home Latte!

[Andy Curtis]

Tools: Coffee pot, saucepan, milk frother or whisk, and mug

Ingredients: There are two main ingredients needed for your latte: coffee and milk (yep that’s it!) You have a few options when it comes to which type of milk and coffee to use. Depending on what you want your latte to taste like.

Coffee: Traditional lattes use espresso for caffeine and the coffee flavor. But if you don’t have an espresso maker, you can also use a strongly brewed coffee for the same effect. We recommend the Super Tuscan or 40 Sardines for a rich, smooth taste.
Milk: You can use whatever kind of milk you prefer! If you are looking for a rich, creamy latte, use 2% milk. If you’re looking for skinny coffee, give skim or 1% a try. You can always try something new like almond milk, rice milk, or soy milk for a dairy-free alternative as well.
Directions:

Brew up a cup of your favorite coffee,
As the coffee is brewing, heat 1 to 1½ cups of milk in a saucepan.
Froth your milk. If you don’t have a milk frother, you can do this easily with a whisk! To do this, vigorously whisk the heating milk into a froth (WARNING: you will get a bit of an arm workout!)
Pour the coffee into your favorite mug, leaving a bit of room at the top for your frothy milk.
Pour the milk over the coffee, holding some froth back with a spoon for a topping.
Once you have only froth left, finish up the pour by layering the froth on the tippy top of the beverage. You can use as little or as much froth as you prefer. More froth will make it more like a cappuccino, whereas less froth will keep it as a traditional latte.
If you like it sweet, add some sugar, vanilla extract, a dusting of cinnamon or honey.
Enjoy your homemade latte!

I sometimes wonder, why latte makes me tired – and look, here is the answer!
