Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sugar amount to suit your taste preference or use a sugar substitute if desired.
- Freshly brewed coffee provides the best flavor, but espresso shots can also be used for a stronger taste.
- This recipe is perfect for a single serving but can easily be scaled up for multiple servings.
- For a spicier latte, add a pinch more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to the mix.
