Ingredients (1 serving, approx. 330ml)- 4 Tbsp Ginger Syrup (adjust to taste)
- 250ml Fresh Milk
- 1 Shot Espresso
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your favorite mug. Gently pour about half of the warm milk into the mug. Warming the milk beforehand helps the ginger syrup blend seamlessly and enhances the overall flavor profile of the latte.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to add the aromatic ginger syrup. Pour 4 tablespoons of ginger syrup into the milk in the mug. Stir well with a spoon until the syrup is thoroughly combined with the milk, ensuring no clumps form. You can adjust the amount of ginger syrup to your personal preference for sweetness and ginger intensity.
Step 3
Once the milk and ginger syrup are well mixed, top up the mug with warm milk until it reaches about three-quarters of the way full. This ensures the perfect liquid base and leaves ample space for the frothy milk topping.
Step 4
Create a luscious layer of milk foam to crown your latte. Carefully add the frothed milk until it reaches about 1 cm below the rim of the mug. This velvety foam adds a delightful texture and a comforting finish to your drink.
Step 5
Finally, prepare a rich, freshly brewed shot of espresso. Gently pour this espresso shot over the milk foam. The espresso will artfully swirl into the foam, creating a beautiful visual, and its robust, slightly bitter notes will beautifully balance the sweetness of the ginger, resulting in a wonderfully complex flavor.
Step 6
And there you have it! A visually appealing and deliciously warming Ginger Latte. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary or a few slivers of fresh ginger. Sip and savor this fragrant and sweet Ginger Latte, and let its comforting warmth envelop you.
