Coffee Base

Milk

Flavoring (Optional)

Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the espresso is rich and has a good crema on top.

Frothing the Milk

  1. 2

    Steam the Milk

    In a milk frother or steam wand, heat 1 cup of whole milk until it reaches about 150°F (65°C). Froth the milk until it doubles in volume and has a velvety texture.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shots. If using, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to the espresso.

  2. 4

    Add Frothy Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to sit on top. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for added flavor.
