1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, gather all the necessary ingredients for this dark magic. You'll need 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder, 1 tablespoon of sweetener (such as maple syrup or honey), 1 cup of milk (any type you prefer), and 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee.

Mix the Charcoal and Sweetener

In a small bowl, mix the activated charcoal powder and the sweetener of your choice. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetener. Give it a good stir to combine them.

3

Steam the Milk

Heat the milk on the stove or using an espresso machine's steam wand until it reaches your desired temperature. Keep swirling the milk gently while heating to create a creamy and frothy texture.

4

Brew the Coffee

If you're using espresso, brew a shot according to your brewing method. If you prefer coffee, make sure it's strong and hot before moving on to the next step.

5

Combine Everything

Now comes the fun part. Pour the activated charcoal mixture into a mug, followed by your brewed coffee or espresso shot. Give it a quick stir to incorporate the flavors. Then, carefully pour the steamed milk over the top, using a spoon to hold back the foam.

Finish with Some Latte Art

If you're feeling fancy, unleash your artistic side and create a beautiful design on the latte's surface with the milk foam. Get creative with hearts, flowers, or even your favorite band's logo. The latte art is like the icing on the cake - it makes your Charcoal Latte extra special!
