3. Add Milk & Sweetener: Next, add two tablespoons of powdered milk and stir until it is completely mixed in with the espresso base. If you would like your latte to be sweeter, you can add a teaspoon of sugar or sweetener at this stage.

4. Serve: Finally, fill your cup up with hot water and give it one more stir before serving. Your backpacking latte is now ready to enjoy!
