Equipment

Method

Brew two shots of fresh, hot espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use very strong dark roast coffee brewed in a Moka pot or a French press. Aim for about 2 ounces of liquid.

Select a tall glass and fill it generously with ice cubes.
Ice cubes
Pour 1 ounce of sweetened condensed milk directly over the ice. This is the key to the signature sweetness and creamy mouthfeel of a Spanish latte.
1 ounce sweetened condensed milk
Add 1 ounce of evaporated milk to the glass. This adds an extra layer of richness and a distinct smooth texture that complements the condensed milk beautifully.
1 ounce evaporated milk
If you prefer a sweeter latte or if your espresso is particularly bitter, add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup now. Taste and adjust based on your preference.
0.5 ounce simple syrup
Gently pour 4-6 ounces of your chosen cold milk over the sweetened liquids and ice. The amount of milk can be adjusted to achieve your desired coffee-to-milk ratio.
4-6 ounces cold milk
Carefully pour your freshly brewed, hot espresso over the milk mixture. The hot espresso will start to bloom and blend with the other ingredients, creating a beautiful swirling effect.

Stir the latte gently with a long spoon or straw to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. You want to ensure the condensed milk is fully incorporated.
