Tips

  • 💡 For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or a milk alternative like oat milk.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavored syrups, such as caramel or hazelnut, for a unique twist on the classic latte.
  • 💡 If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg.
