Latte is a coffee drink with a lot of milk. The recipe was invented by Italian housewives who added triple the amount of milk to the coffee when making it so that even children could drink it. Classic latte is easy to make at home. Homemade latte is very tasty and aromatic.

How to cook Latte at home

Step 1

Brew coffee. Pour boiling water over the cup to warm it up. Pour coffee into the cup and fill it with hot water.

Step 2

Heat the milk. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk to 65 degrees, without bringing it to a boil. Beat the hot milk for 2-3 minutes with a mixer or in a French press until foam appears.

Step 3

Make a latte. Pour the brewed coffee into the glass you will serve the drink in. Pour the milk and foam over the coffee.

Latte at home - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a milk alternative instead of regular milk for this latte?

Yes, you can use almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or any other milk alternative. Just ensure it heats well and froths similarly to dairy milk for the best texture.

How can I make a low-carb version of this latte?

Use unsweetened almond milk and skip any added sugars. Consider a sugar-free syrup or natural sweetener like stevia if desired.

Can I prepare the milk foam in advance?

Milk foam is best made fresh, as it tends to deflate over time. If needed, re-froth it briefly before serving.

What’s the best way to store leftover latte?

Store leftover latte in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, and re-froth if desired.

Can I freeze the brewed coffee for later use in lattes?

Yes, freeze coffee in ice cube trays and use them later for iced lattes or thaw for hot drinks—just avoid reheating in the microwave to prevent bitterness.

How can I make a frothy latte without a mixer or French press?

Use a mason jar: fill it with hot milk, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then microwave for 15 seconds to stabilize the foam.

Can I double or halve this recipe easily?

Yes, adjust coffee and milk quantities proportionally. Ensure your tools (like the French press) can handle the volume for frothing.

What’s the ideal serving size for a homemade latte?

A standard latte is about 8–12 oz (240–350 ml), with a 1:3 coffee-to-milk ratio. Adjust to taste or cup size.
