Latte Macchiato is a three-layered coffee drink that originated in Italy. 'Latte' means milk in Italian, while 'macchiato' means stained or spotted. The Italian tradition calls for adding a spot of espresso to a cup of frothed milk. This recipe puts a spin on the traditional version by adding three layers of coffee, frothed milk, and foam to create a stunning drink that looks as good as it tastes. Latte Macchiato is a popular drink at coffee shops worldwide, but you can enjoy it at home with this simple recipe.

Instructions

1.	Heat milk in a pot over low heat. Do not boil.
2.	Froth the milk using a hand-held frother or by shaking it vigorously in a jar.
3.	In a tall glass, add 1 tablespoon of coffee powder.
4.	Pour the frothed milk over the coffee powder in the glass. The foam should come on top.
5.	Add another tablespoon of coffee powder on top of the foam.
6.	Pour more frothed milk over the coffee powder. The milk should come in the middle.
7.	Add 1 tablespoon of coffee powder on top of the milk.
8.	Pour more frothed milk over the coffee powder. The foam should come on top again.
9.	Sprinkle some cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top if desired.
