1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a strong brewed coffee as an alternative.
2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother or steam wand to heat and froth the milk simultaneously.
3
Froth the Milk
Once the milk is heated, froth it using a milk frother or whisk until it reaches a creamy texture with a good amount of foam. If using a saucepan, use a whisk to vigorously stir the milk until frothy.
4
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a large coffee mug. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and sugar to taste, stirring to combine.
5
Add Frothed Milk
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to layer it on top. Once the milk is poured, spoon the remaining foam on top for a beautiful finish.
