An automatic bean-to-cup coffee machine will allow you to produce a deliciously fresh, high-quality espresso quickly and easily. Then add the hot cross bun syrup flavours to the espresso and stir it well to combine. Next, steam some milk until it is frothy, then pour it over the espresso and syrup mixture. The resulting latte is creamy and warming, with a subtle spice flavor that is reminiscent of the classic Easter treat.
