Ingredients
- Cinnamon or cocoa powder
- to taste (for sprinkling)
- Whipped cream
- 1/4 cup (for topping)

- 1 cup (whole or your choice of milk)
- Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 shot (or 1/2 cup of strong coffee)

Instructions

- In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a frother or a whisk to froth the warm milk until it becomes creamy and foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a large mug.
- Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso or coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam for a layered effect.
- Top the latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor and elegance.

Tips

- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for an aromatic kick.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk and use non-dairy whipped cream.
