Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- 2 Shots Espresso. You can add another shot if you like a super strong latte, or only use one for a lighter latte.
- ½ cup whole milk. I use a mix of half whole milk and half heavy cream if I'm wanting a richer latte. You can use any milk you prefer - 2%, coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, half and half or heavy cream.
- Honey or sugar. If you want to add sweetness to your latte, I suggest a 1-3 teaspoons of honey for the best flavor (and no refined sugar). You can use any sweetener of your choice. Or you can make this simple syrup!
- Adding flavors. You can add vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon, your favorite flavored syrup, etc. to give it a unique spin.
- Espresso machine. I have this espresso machine and it changed my life. There are many more inexpensive espresso machines!
- Milk frother. I suggest this automatic milk frother. I use mine every day. Or you can use this handheld frother.
