your basic latte

this is my most repeated recipe – a basic cafe latte. ☕️ it requires 3 simple ingredients: simple syrup (or any sweetener of your choice), milk, & espresso!

if you want something that is straight forward in flavor, requires few ingredients, and are on a time crunch, this is perfect for you!
