A latte has the same ingredients as a cappuccino, but is topped with just a thin layer of foamy milk. This latte recipe results in a creamy coffee concoction as pleasing as any you'd find at a coffeehouse.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup hot brewed Easy Espresso
  • Ground cinnamon, optional

Directions

  1. Place milk in a 1-cup microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute or until milk is hot and small bubbles form around edge of cup.
  2. Place a metal whisk in cup; whisk vigorously by holding whisk handle loosely between palms and quickly rubbing hands back and forth. Remove foam to a small measuring cup as it forms. Continue whisking until foam measures 1/8 to 1/4 cup; set aside.
  3. Pour Easy Espresso into a cup; pour in remaining hot milk. Spoon foam over top and serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon.
