Make a creamy, rich Venti-sized latte just like Starbucks at home. With 2–3 shots of espresso and nearly 90% steamed milk, this drink is warm, satisfying, and endlessly customizable.

  • Top with foam. Spoon any remaining foam on top for a smooth finish.
  • Customize. Add sweetener, syrup, or a dash of cinnamon or cocoa if desired.

Notes

  • For a lower-calorie version, use skim milk or almond milk.
  • Oat milk creates a creamy texture similar to whole milk.
  • For iced: use the same espresso amount and 16–18 oz cold milk, then pour over ice.
  • Add syrup like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut to mimic popular Starbucks flavors.
