Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Servings: 2 Lattes

Ingredients

Latte

  • 2/3 cups brewed espresso or any strong coffee

Instructions

  • In the microwave, heat your milk for 30-45 seconds, or until the milk is warmed (but not boiling hot). With a French press, push the plunger up and down quickly until the milk froths.

  • Evenly divide the frothed milk between the two lattes.
  • Enjoy!
