Rich Flavor Guide
Key to Success:
- Syrup First: Pouring the hot espresso over the syrup is the best way to ensure the chocolate mixes well.
- Four Pump Rule: Like other standard flavored lattes, this recipe requires exactly four pumps of syrup.
- Don't Confuse with Mocha: A Chocolate Latte is simpler than a Mocha. It does not have whipped cream or cocoa powder on top.
- Hot and Creamy: The quality of the steamed milk is key to the drink's texture. Aim for a smooth, creamy result.
