Coffee lovers are found all over the world. Someone likes tart black, someone prefers softer with milk. But to try exquisite coffee drinks, most go to cafes. Lattes, frappes and cappuccinos seem out of reach for home cooking. However, knowing some tricks, you can make them yourself, even without a coffee machine.

For example, it is very easy to make latte coffee at home. The recipe for its preparation was invented in Italy. However, the Italians themselves prefer stronger coffee. But in America, on the contrary, they drink it in very large glasses. In the famous Starbucks coffee shop, it is served in 600 ml cups. So, for a latte for 2 people, you need 4 tablespoons of ground coffee, 150 ml of water, 300 ml of milk. In a Turk, mix coffee with water and heat, stirring, until foam appears. Then pour the milk into a separate container and heat to a temperature of 60-65 degrees. Pour half into special tall glasses and add espresso. Beat the remaining milk with a blender into a strong foam andspread on top with a spoon. Garnish with cinnamon if desired. This is how a classic Italian latte is prepared.

The recipe in other countries has been supplemented and modified in accordance with their ideas about coffee. This is how latte macchiato, latte with syrup and even alcoholic latte appeared. Which one to cook at home already depends not so much on skill as on taste preferences and the availability of all the ingredients. And, of course, it is very important to preserve the layering of the drink, which gives additional charm to the latte. The recipe is really simple. But the main thing is not to rush.

To make it work, pour coffee only along the edge of the glass in a thin stream. Then he will settle down slowly, not mixing with milk. When adding syrup, it is important to cool it well, then it will lie evenly on the bottom of the glass. And, of course, you need to use tall glasses for serving, or better - special Irish glasses. Then you will definitely get not only tasty, but also a beautiful latte coffee drink.

Recipe at home will not differ from the classic. Therefore, you can experiment and cook, for example, latte with syrup. To do this, also brew espresso to your liking. Put a couple of tablespoons of your favorite syrup at the bottom of the glass. Coffee lovers recommend using blueberry or currant, you get a very original taste. Then carefully pour the warmed and whipped milk, and then the coffee itself. Those who are not confident in their abilities can do this with a teaspoon.

And, of course, the most homemade is the alcoholic latte. The recipe in this case is perfect for a romantic dinner. It is best to use Baileys liqueur. It perfectly emphasizes the coffee taste of the drink. First you need to warm the glasses themselves by dipping them in hot water for a few minutes. Pour a tablespoon of liquor into them, and warm milk on top (previously beat it with a blender into foam). Now, in a Turkish pot over high heat, heat a pinch of s alt, a teaspoon of sugar and coffee per serving, stirring with a wooden stick, for 10 seconds. Add 2/3 cup of water and boil until foam appears (coffee should not boil). Pour it into the center of the glass. The result is three layers: milk, coffee and milk foam.

Whatever recipe you choose for making latte, this is a real drink for coffee lovers. After all, only a coffee lover can patiently prepare it over and over again, regardless of time and cost.
