📋Ingredients for the latte
- Milk - I find whole milk or 2% works best but you can use whichever type of milk you like. The more fat in the milk, the thicker more stable the foam will be.
- Coffee - brewed hot espresso or strong brewed hot coffee. If using coffee, double the amount of coffee grounds.
- Vanilla - Vanilla extract is what I prefer. You can use vanilla syrup if you like but I think the vanilla extract is a much better vanilla flavor.
- Maple Syrup - Use a good maple syrup. Use more if you like your latte on the sweeter side.
- Cinnamon - ground cinnamon
On the topic of vanilla extract, did you know that you can make Homemade Vanilla Extract? How great is that?

. These pictures are solely for my visual learners.
- Step 1: Combine hot espresso (or coffee), maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon in a mug.
- Step 2: Heat milk. This can be done on the stovetop or in the microwave. Heat it to the point where it starts to bubble around the edges but doesn't boil. Froth the warm milk with your choice of frother (see equipment section for recommendations). Pour warmed milk over coffee, being sure to scoop the foam on top.
- Step 3: If desired sprinkle the top of the latte with additional cinnamon. You could also add a little whipped cream if you like.
🥘Variations to the latte recipe
If you'd like to serve this as an Iced Latte, I would suggest using cooled brewed espresso (you can even buy this pre-made in the refrigerator section), cold milk and prepare over ice.
🍴Equipment
You'll need a milk frother to froth the milk. There are a few options. I own all three of these and the one I use most is the handheld frother. It also is the easiest to store, coming with its own stand.
All three styles are available on Amazon. Buy one now with my affiliate link if you need a frother!
You will also need either instant espresso, an espresso machine or a coffee maker. Ninja now makes a coffee maker that also brews espresso! Ninja mode CFN601 and you can grab that on Amazon.
❓FAQ
Yes! Non-dairy milks just may not froth as thick or stable as dairy milk.
