Love At First Sip!
February is basically the definition of cozy. Chocolate is everywhere, love is in the air, and, most importantly, February 11th is National Latte Day.
And since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we’re calling it now: this is the perfect excuse to slow down, sip something delicious, and show a little love, whether that’s to your Valentine, your bestie, or yourself (arguably the most important relationship).
So grab a mug, take a seat… or should we say a sip, and read on.
What Makes a Latte a Latte?
Before we celebrate, let’s get on the same page. A latte is simple, classic, and endlessly customizable. At its core, a latte is 1–2 shots of espresso, steamed milk (your choice!), and a layer of light, velvety foam. That’s it!
What You’ll Need
To create latte magic at home, you’ll want:
-
Espresso
-
Milk of your choice
-
An espresso machine or coffee maker that can brew strong coffee
-
A milk frother or steam wand
-
A cup you really love drinking out of
How to Make a Latte (Hot or Iced)
To make a hot latte, you’ll need your favorite espresso beans and milk of your choice.
How to do it:
-
Grind your beans and brew 1–2 shots of espresso
-
Steam and froth your milk until smooth and creamy
-
Pour espresso into your cup
-
Slowly add milk
-
Finish with foam (and maybe a little art flair)
For iced lattes you’ll need ice, espresso, milk, and a cup that can handle the chill.
How to do it:
-
Brew your espresso
-
Fill your cup with ice

Pour espresso over ice
-
Add milk and stir
Extras are encouraged! Add to your latte with cocoa powder, cinnamon, flavored syrups, and whipped cream.
