    Brew the Espresso

    Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Froth the Milk

    If using a frother, froth the milk until it reaches a creamy texture. If using a saucepan, you can whisk the milk vigorously to create foam.
