Never made a latte at home but always wanted to know how?  Here are simple steps for making a basic latte at home, according to the “got milk?” team:

Espress-o Yourself:

Thinking about getting an espresso machine? Great! If not, no problem… just brew your coffee beans stronger than usual.

Get Frothy with It:

Milk frothers are a great gift. But you can also heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave, then whisk for extra foam.

Have Fun with Flavor:

Check your spice cabinet to add great
flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg.  You can also buy your favorite syrups
for a coffee shop-worthy flavor boost.

To make your latte, you can heat 1 cup milk in a saucepan over
medium-low heat, whisking quickly with a wire whisk to create foam.
Meanwhile, brew your strong coffee (you’ll need about 1/2 cup). Pour the
heated milk into a tall mug, holding back the foam with a spoon.  Add
strong brewed coffee and spoon a thin layer of foamed milk over
beverage.
