WHIP UP MOCHAS AND LATTES AT HOME!



If you're like myself, and go to Starbucks sometimes more then once a day, here's a great way to save some money:

LATTE:


1. Make a shot of espresso equaling between 1 and 1 1/2 oz.

2. Steam 10 oz. milk.

3. Point your steam wand towards the bottom of your stainless steel pitcher to steam your milk. To create froth, raise the tip just below the surface of the pitcher.

4. Pour hot milk in a 12-oz. glass until 3/4 full.

5. Pour the espresso shot into the steamed milk.

6. Dust with ground chocolate or cinnamon



MOCHA:


1. Place chocolate syrup in bottom of a tall, thick glass or large mug.

2. Prepare 1 shot (1 to 1 1/2 oz.) of espresso.

3. Steam the milk.

4. Add 3/4 of the milk to the glass or mug and stir gently.

5. Add the espresso and stir again.

6. Add the rest of the steamed milk.

7. Place a dollop of whipped cream on top of mocha and sprinkle with chocolate or cinnamon

YUMMY, enjoy!
