​

INSTRUCTIONS​

Pull your espresso shot in your latte cup.

Add your flavor or syrup shot, if using.

Steam milk:

• Pour 1/2 cup cold milk into small metal pitcher.

• Engage the steam wand on your espresso machine.

• Insert the steam wand into the milk, just below the surface.

• Keep the tip of the wand near the side of the pitcher, creating a vortex in the milk.

• Rotate the pitcher so the steam wand is higher, lower, closer to the edge or further from the edge in order to incorporate air into the milk and break up larger bubbles.

• Once the mixture has increased in size about 1 1/2 times the volume, remove the wand from the pitcher. The milk should have a texture resembling melted ice cream.

• Using a spoon to retain the bubbles on top of the steamed milk, pour the bottom 2/3 of the steamed milk from the steaming pitcher into the latte cup.

• Top the latte with the remaining bubbles.
