Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Spoon and mug

Ingredients
  

  • 1 shot (1 oz) espresso or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp orange zest (fresh)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground clove or nutmeg
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • Optional: whipped cream and extra zest for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Infuse the Milk
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, orange zest, cinnamon, and clove. Stir gently and heat until steaming, but not boiling—this allows the spices and zest to infuse fully.
    1
  • Brew Your Espresso
    While the milk is steeping, brew your espresso shot or prepare strong coffee. Set aside.
  • Strain and Sweeten the Milk
    Strain the infused milk to remove zest and spice particles. Stir in the maple syrup or honey while the milk is still hot.
    3
  • Assemble the Latte
    Pour the espresso into your favorite mug. Slowly add the spiced milk over the top, creating a creamy, aromatic blend.
  • Garnish and Serve
    Top with whipped cream if desired, and a light sprinkle of orange zest or cinnamon for a beautiful finish. Serve immediately while warm.
