How to make a Latte
Latte: 1 or 2 standard shots of espresso, mixed with twice as much hot milk.
How to make a Latte??? This is another easy one. Traditionalist say the coffee and milk should be poured at the same time.
Steps for making a Latte:
- Get hold of some dark roasted espresso beans. Oily-looking is the choice bean here. Use the darkest of the espresso coffee beans. Traditional Italian Style!
- You want to grind these espresso beans until they are very fine.
- Pack the grinds into the group (handle) of the espresso machine.
- Place a your cup/s under the group. Turn on your espresso machine. You should see a hazel brown crema appear at the surface of the coffee when its finished.
- Heat and foam your milk.
- Pour your hot milk into the espresso.
Note: When pouring in the milk make sure it mixes well with the espresso. I did mention that traditionalist say that a latte should have the espresso and milk pour into the glass at the same time. Using a Moka pot makes this easy. If you have an espresso machine, I wouldn’t worry too much, you will still get the same result, a great Latte.
Now all you have to do is enjoy your Latte!!
