Recipe Tips

• Do you need an espresso machine? No, but if you have one that is fantastic. For this recipe, I used a good quality *(affiliate) espresso powder. If you don’t have espresso use really strong coffee as an alternative.
• Best milk frother. We have found this *(affiliate) hand-held frother works amazing!! So easy to use. Froths the milk beautifully. Affordable too.
• This recipe uses a pot to heat the milk. Be sure not to bring it to a boil. That will scorch the milk.
• You can adjust the coffee to milk ratio if you like. 
• You can make more than one latte at a time. Just adjust the ingredient amounts to compensate for the quantity you need.
• To add the hot milk to the drink, use a spoon to hold back the foam while pouring.

Questions People Ask

Can you steam milk at home? Yes, you can. Some people have milk steamers attached to their espresso machines. For this mocha latte I just simply heated the chocolate milk in a pot on the stovetop.

Does chocolate milk froth? It sure does. It creates a nice thick layer perfect for sprinkles or eating with a spoon.

I find most milk will froth, however, I do find full-fat diary produces a thicker foam. 

Non-diary milk does produce a froth, but not very thick.

Can you use chocolate milk as a creamer? Absolutely, and what a great idea!

Is there a special kind of milk for lattes? You can use all kinds of milk to make lattes. For this recipe, I used full-fat chocolate milk. You can try coconut milk, soy milk or almond milk if you like. 

Can you make tea lattes? Yes, and they are super delicious. Swap out coffee for your favourite tea. We love this Festive Holiday Tea.

Once you make lattes at home, you will see how easy it is. No need for any fancy equipment to get a great-tasting mocha coffee any time of day.
