Top Tips for Making Mocha Lattes
  • Add an additional teaspoon of sugar if you like it sweeter, or use sweetened milk.
  • Not all non-dairy milk froths well. I find that soy milk, oat milk, and almond milk made for coffee froth the best.
  • My favorite tool to use to froth milk for my drinks is an electric milk frother. It turns out super creamy every time!
  • If you don't have a milk frother or frothing wand, add the milk to a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high. Whisk the milk while it heats until it becomes warm and frothy.
