Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 shot Espresso or strong brewed coffee
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 0 as needed Whipped cream (optional)
• 0 as needed Cinnamon stick or additional ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir gently to blend the ingredients.

Step 2

Heat the milk mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to steam. Do not let it come to a boil to avoid scorching.

Step 3

While the milk is heating, prepare your espresso or strong brewed coffee and pour it into a heat-safe mug.

Step 4

Once the milk is steaming, remove it from heat. If you have a frother, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy. Otherwise, you can vigorously whisk the milk to create a light froth.

Step 5

Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso or coffee in the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the milk is poured, spoon the froth on top of the latte.

Step 6

Optionally, top with whipped cream for added richness. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a light dusting of ground cinnamon, if desired.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your fragrant and cozy Latte Aromatica!
