Ingredients
3/4 cup of whole milk
Two espresso shots
2 tablespoons of pecan syrup
Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
Start by brewing your espresso. Use your espresso machine, AeroPress, or Moka pot. You just want a strong, concentrated base.
Add the pecan syrup to the bottom of a tall glass. This helps it blend evenly with the espresso and milk.
Steam your milk until it is smooth and silky. You want a velvety texture with a thin layer of microfoam. If your milk looks frothy instead of creamy, give the pitcher a gentle tap on the counter to settle it.
Pour the steamed milk into the glass.
Now slowly pour the espresso over the milk. Pouring gently creates a layered look before everything blends together.
Top with whipped cream if you want an extra treat and enjoy right away.
Notes
If you prefer a sweeter latte, you can make this recipe with a single espresso shot, or add a bit more syrup or whipped cream!
