How to Make a Latte Like a BaristaStart with regular coffee and you can make these frothy, steaming drinks in five minutes.

Step 1: Brew 2 cups of strong coffee. Many machines have a “strong” or “espresso” setting. Or add an extra teaspoon of grounds before brewing.

Step 2: Pour ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk or heavy cream into a jar with a lid. (Whole milk is richer but foams less, because of its lower protein content.)

Step 3: Shake the jar vigorously for a minute until bubbly. Uncover and microwave for 30 seconds until froth rises to the top of the jar. (Heating briefly helps stabilize the foam.)

Step 4:Pour the coffee into 2 mugs, then spoon the frothed milk over the coffee. For the full effect, drag a toothpick through the foam to create swirls.
