Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a large coffee mug or cup.

Prepare Milk

  1. 2

    Heat Milk

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 cup of whole milk until steaming, but not boiling. If you have a steam wand, you can also use it to froth the milk.

  2. 3

    Froth Milk

    If using a steam wand, froth the milk until it reaches a creamy, velvety consistency. If using a saucepan, whisk vigorously to create foam.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 4

    Mix Espresso and Milk

    Pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso in the cup, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

  2. 5

    Add Flavoring

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for sweetness. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for garnish.

Serve
