Method
Coffee Base
- 1
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine, or make a concentrated coffee (about 2 oz) with a Moka pot or Aeropress. Keep hot.
- 2
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee (use slightly more coffee grounds than usual) so it tastes robust when combined with milk. Keep hot.
Milk & Foam
- 3
Heat and sweeten milk
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 3 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk gently while heating until mixture is steaming and the sugar has dissolved (do not boil), about 4–6 minutes. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon.
- 4
Froth the milk
Use a steam wand or handheld milk frother to froth the hot milk mixture until it develops a velvety microfoam, about 20–30 seconds of active frothing. If you don't have a frother, vigorously whisk the hot milk or shake in a heatproof jar (leave lid slightly ajar) until foamy.
Assembly & Serve
- 5
- 6
Slowly pour the frothed milk mixture over the coffee, holding back foam with a spoon and then spooning the foam on top to create a layered look.
- 7
Finely grate 1/2 teaspoon orange zest over the foam (optional) and dust with a light sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir gently if desired.
- 8
Garnish with a cinnamon stick and an edible flower or microgreens if using. Serve immediately while hot.
