We get it. You’re in a hurry and you crave a latte but you’re not nearby a The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® cafe. Sometimes you just want a sweet and creamy latte at home. Check out these six easy latte recipes.

Easy Latte Recipe Steps
1. Brew Your Favorite Coffee or Tea
Brew your espresso, coffee or tea.
Pro Tip: Try our wonderful Espresso Roast Blends. It’s the same espresso coffee we use in our cafes and is the foundation to our legendary silky lattes. We sell the same espresso beans and grinds which are available to purchase for home use.
2. Add Delicious Flavors
Add 1/3 cup* of our signature flavoring powders from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to your cup of coffee, tea, or espresso. (*or more or less to suit your flavor preference). Signature flavors powders from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf provide a wonderfully sweet and creamy taste, creating an instant latte. They taste amazing hot, iced or blended. Try French Deluxe™ Vanilla, Special Dutch™ Chocolate, Cookie Butter Powder, Hazelnut, White Chocolate, and two no-sugar-added options.
3- Mix It Up
If you don’t have a handheld milk frother, it’s a must have for any specialty beverage aficionado. You can quickly mix your coffee or tea with powders and other flavorings right in your cup! We like Bodum’s handheld mixer.
4- Add Some Froth
Making froth for your latte at home is easier than you think. Wait till you try Bodum’s electric Milk Frother! It makes cold and hot foam and even has a setting for hot cocoa. Just pour in your favorite milk or cream and press a button. Voila! Try adding powders or other flavors to your foam to take your latte game to a whole new level.
5- Garnish & Enjoy!
Now for the finishing touch! Keep some of your favorite toppings on hand in your kitchen to complete your home made lattes. Try chocolate or caramel sauce, pumpkin pie spice, caramel candies, whipped cream, or crushed nuts. Get creative! Now go savor your own spin on latte recipes at home.
