1
Grind Coffee Beans
Start by grinding the espresso coffee beans until they reach a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
2
Brew Espresso
In an espresso machine, combine the ground coffee with 1 cup of water. Brew according to your machine's instructions until you have a rich espresso shot (about 1-2 ounces).

3
Heat Milk
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it has doubled in volume and has a creamy texture. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large cup, pour the brewed espresso shot. If desired, add sugar to taste.
6
Add Milk Foam
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing it to blend beautifully.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder and 2 tbs of chocolate shavings on top as a delicious garnish.
