Venti Latte (Starbucks Copycat)
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.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 shots espresso
- 18 oz whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp sweetener or flavored syrup optional
Instructions Cook Mode
- Pull your espresso shots. Use an espresso machine to brew 2 or 3 shots (2–3 oz total), depending on strength preference.
- Steam your milk. Use a steam wand or frother to heat and froth 18 oz of milk until velvety and hot (around 150°F).
- Pour and combine. Add espresso to a 20 oz mug, then slowly pour in the steamed milk.
- 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.
