Leigh asks for my "recipe" for the latte and iced coffee I served her. Well, if you haven't got an espresso machine, I guess you could just drip or brew a very strong coffee. For two or three cups to share:
Steam 1-1/2 -- 2 cups milk in microwave for one minute, in French press if you have one. Foam the hot milk with your press plunger, up and down until it thickens. Then re-nuke it for 20 seconds or more until it "grows"(but WATCH it, or you may have a microwave to clean up!).
Pull 2 -- 3 shots of espresso, or make a cup of VERY STRONG coffee. Sweeten it as desired. Pour the hot coffee into mugs, and top with the foam.
If YOU get good at making coffee designs, Leigh, you can teach me how!
For our iced lattes, these days we're using a rounded tablespoon of PILON Instant Espresso, two tablespoons of sugar (or to taste), stirred in 8 -- 10 ounces of milk, and then poured over crushed ice.
