Italian Homemade Caffé Latte

Italian Homemade Caffé Latte

Caffè Latte is the Italian variant of coffee with milk. A good Caffè Latte is always an espresso. Hot milk is poured onto the espresso. The result is crowned by a little milk foam. Caffè Latte is served in a tall glass bigger than the Cappuccino cup.

Ingredients:

1½ cups milk
2/3 cup freshly brewed espresso
Sugar (to taste)
2 Glasses (Capacity around 160-200 ml)

Makes 2 servings.


Directions:

1. In a separate dish, heat milk over low heat until very hot, do not boil. If a skin forms on the surface of the milk, remove it and discard.
2. Divide freshly brewed espresso between the glasses than pour 1/3 cup hot milk into each. Add sugar, if desired.
3. Using an electric mixer or wire whisk, beat the remaining hot milk until frothy (unlike the foaming procedure, the milk should be mixed with less air). Spoon foam into glasses and dust with cocoa, nutmeg or cinnamon powder.

NOTE: Italians usually don't froth the milk, that is our invention, they just use hot milk.

Did You Know?

A great part of any company dinner can be prepared the day before. If you have room in the freezer you can prepare a lot of dishes well in advance, freeze them in plastic containers and use them when needed.

First thing to do is to select your menu and make a list of the principal dishes. With each dish have a list of the vegetables, sauces or other things to be served, and the time for serving. This will insure the dishes being ready at the proper moment.
