- Dust the top with cocoa powder and add any optional garnishes.
Variations
- Sweeten to your taste with flavored syrups or honey.
- Use almond or oat milk for a non-dairy version.
- Serve iced by chilling the milk mixture and pouring it over ice.
Troubleshooting
If your latte is too thick, try whisking in a little extra milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
