Scone and Cream Latte

Ingredients

Cinnamon or cocoa powder

to taste (for sprinkling)

Whipped cream

1/4 cup (for topping)

Milk

1 cup (whole or your choice of milk)

Espresso or strong brewed coffee

1 shot (or 1/2 cup of strong coffee)

Scone

1 (homemade or store-bought, any flavor)

Instructions

1. If making homemade scones, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your favorite scone recipe or use store-bought scones.
2. Bake the scone according to the recipe instructions, or if using store-bought, follow the package directions until golden brown.
3. Brew a shot of espresso or prepare a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method.
4. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Use a frother or a whisk to froth the warm milk until it becomes creamy and foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a large mug.
7. Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso or coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam for a layered effect.
8. Top the latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor and elegance.
9. Serve the freshly baked scone alongside the creamy latte and enjoy this delightful pairing!
