DIY: Caffè Latte

Hullo guys,
it's me again. Couple months ago I've learnt how to make caffè latte. And after this rediculously long time it crossed my mind that I could write it down and create this easy DIY project for you.
It's definitely worth your time!
I love this type of coffee. It's good-looking, very tasty and not even hard to make. C:
So let's begin!

Ingredients
  • 1 or 2 teaspoons of soluble coffee
  • about 50 ml of water
  • about 200 ml of milk
Optional: teaspoon of cocoa or another decorative yummies

Equipment
  • mixer or beater
Total time: 10 minutes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step 1
So first bring the water to a boil. Then put the coffee in some cup (preferably little jug or cup with a spout, you'll need to pour the coffee later), pour the boiling water in it and let the coffe dissolve.

Step 2
Pour the milk in a small pot and heat the milk on a stove for a while (it doesn't have to boil). When the milk is warm, turn off the stove and whisk the milk with your mixer for about one minute untill you create a foam on the surface of your milk. 

Note: The foam is very important because it's the thing that keeps the coffe on the surface. When you don't create enough of the foam, you can't make the "double-colour" effect and your coffe will mix up with the milk as usual.

Step 3
So here comes the trickiest part. Now pour your warm frothed milk in a sufficiently large glass (!! make sure it's not too hot, otherwise you could break the glass. Same with the coffee !!). Then take your coffee cup and pour the coffee SLOWLY and carefully in the glass too. The coffee should keep on the top (Again - if it doesn't, you probably didn't whisk the milk long enough and so you don't have enough foam).


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Optional
Sprinkle the top with some cocoa (or basically anything else you have), it's up to you and your creativity!
If you like coffees a bit sweeter, you can add some sugar it the milk and in the coffee before mixing it together.
Oh yeah, and cookies are also a good match ;)

Et voilà!
Your beautiful and delicious caffè latte is ready!

Bon appetite!
