Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Pour the espresso into a large coffee mug.

  2. 2

    Heat Water

    In a kettle, heat 120 ml of water until it reaches a simmer. Pour the hot water over the brewed espresso.

Prepare Milk

  1. 3

    Steam Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 240 ml of milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is creamy and has a good amount of foam.

  2. 4

    Add Flavoring

    Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the steamed milk, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Mix Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso-water mixture, allowing the foam to sit on top.
