Method
Espresso Preparation
Brew the Espresso
Grind the espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency. Boil 60 ml of water and pour it over the ground coffee in an espresso machine or a French press. Brew for about 25-30 seconds to extract the espresso.
Chai Preparation
Steep the Chai
In a small saucepan, bring 150 ml of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, add the chai tea bag, and let it steep for 5 minutes. After steeping, remove the tea bag and stir in 1 tsp of sugar until dissolved.
Cream Preparation
Prepare the Cream
In a small bowl, combine 30 ml of heavy cream with 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisk together until slightly thickened but not whipped.
Assembly
Combine the Layers
In a serving glass, pour the freshly brewed espresso first, followed by the chai tea. Gently layer the prepared cream on top. Optionally, sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top for garnish.
