Homemade Latte

Been addicted to Starbucks latte and their almond biscotti lately.  Having it too frequent is not doing my wallet any good so I decided to come out with my own version of 'starbuck' latte.

While getting the coffee beans is very easy, one just need to get a packet from the oh so many Starbucks outlet, preparing the warm frothy milk is a bit tricky as I do not have any milk warmer or frother.  Finally came out with a solution which is so ridiculously simple.

I first filled a microwave safe tumbler with low fat milk.  Close it tight and shake it for about 30 seconds.  The milk would have turned frothy then.  Thereafter, remove the lid of the tumbler and heat the milk in microwave oven at medium heat for 2 -3 minutes.  Next, pour the milk into the brewed coffee and scoop the froth to the top.  A home made latte is thus ready.
