Brew 4 oz strong coffee per each latte that you’ll be making.
On the stove top, heat up the coffee cup of milk for each latte that you’ll be making. You want to heat it up slowly, but not allowing the milk to boil or scald. You can also use a microwave if your prefer.
Next, very carefully using your stick blender, froth the milk. The more air you allow into the mixture, the bigger the froth. It’s totally a preference thing here. If you don’t have a stick blender, very carefully pour the heated milk into a regular blender and blend until frothy.
Add the brewed coffee to a coffee cup and slowly stir in the frothed milk.
Serve and enjoy as is or stir in extras for a sweet or flavored treat! (see note for ideas)
Notes
Latte stir in ideas... Honey Latte: Stir in up to 1 tablespoon of real honey, drizzle a bit of honey on top and sprinkle it with cinnamon for a super special treat. This is my favorite...its so good! Pumpkin Spice Latte: Following the basic recipe, stir in 1 tablespoon of canned pure pumpkin , 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of real honey (depending on how sweet you want it) to the brewed coffee. Slowly add in to the frothed milk. Add whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice on top.Mocha Latte: For this variation, you will mix in a packet of hot cocoa to the coffee and then add in the frothed milk. Add whipped cream to the top. For a peppermint mocha variation, add in a couple of drops of peppermint extract to the coffee mixture.Salted Caramel Latte: Stir in up to 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup to sweeten, add whipped cream to the top of the latte and drizzle with more caramel syrup. Sprinkle with a little sea salt.
