Servings 1

Equipment

  • Espresso machine with a steam wand 
  • Digital Scale
  • 12-ounce glass or mug
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz non-fat milk
  • 1/2 oz sugar-free vanilla syrup (such as Torani)
  • 2 shots of espresso
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pour the sugar-free vanilla syrup into the bottom of a warm mug.
  • Pull a double shot of espresso. Add it to the mug. Starbucks uses its blonde espresso blend, but you can substitute with any other beans. 
  • Begin steaming the non-fat milk with the steam wand on your espresso machine. If you don't have a steam wand, heat the milk in a saucepan on the stove while aerating it with a frother or whisking until it becomes hot and frothy.
  • Pour the steamed milk over the syrup and espresso, leaving a little room at the top for the foam.
  • If you like foam, spoon a bit of foam on top of the latte. Most lattes are made using minimal foam, but you should always follow what tastes right to you.
  • If desired, sprinkle some cinnamon on top for extra flavor.

Notes

If you don’t have an espresso machine, an Aeropress or Moka Pot coffee maker also works well for this recipe!
