Equipment

  • Espresso Machine You can also use other espresso prep options

Ingredients
  

Make the Espresso

  • 2 scoops espresso ground coffee

Latte

  • 2 shots espresso 3 oz
  • 1.5 tbsp flavored syrup Torani are widely available
  • cup oat milk

Instructions
 

Make Espresso

  • Make your espresso according to your package directions.
  • You can also use strong brewed coffee, but it will have a slightly different taste.

Make the Latte

  • Steam the milk (or froth). Oat milk gains a lot of volume so make sure you don't fill your mug more than half full. If using a frother, follow the directions of your specific frother.
  • If using an espresso machine steamer, make sure to spin your mug around so you evenly heat the milk prior to it foaming.
  • In a mug add the espresso, syrup, and top with steamed milk.
  • Give it a stir to ensure the syrup gets mixed well.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute other types of milk for oat milk, I just prefer the texture and flavor of oat milk.
If you don't have flavor syrups at home, you can always sweeten with maple syrup, or make a vanilla syrup by boiling 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1-2 tsp vanilla extract.
If you don't have an espresso machine or a frother, heat your milk in the microwave or boil on the stove. You can give it some bobbles with a whisk if you like.
This can also be made iced by skipping the step where you steam the milk and serve the whole drink over ice.
