Classic Latte

Smooth, simple, perfect.

A café-style latte from one bottled espresso shot and warm, frothed milk. No machine, no pods, about five minutes.

• 1 shot
• Hot
• 5 min
• Makes 1

The coffee in it costs from ₱60 — the rest is from your kitchen.

You’ll need

• 1 shot of Aconchego espresso (30ml)
• 150ml fresh milk
• Sugar or syrup, to taste (optional)

Method

1. Heat the milk until it steams but does not boil — about a minute in the microwave, or a few minutes in a small pan over low heat.
2. Froth it with a handheld frother or a whisk until it turns glossy and doubles slightly in volume.
3. Pour the espresso shot into a mug.
4. Pour the hot milk over the shot, holding the foam back with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
5. Sweeten to taste and drink straight away.
