Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the coffee is finely ground for optimal extraction.

Frothing the Milk

  1. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of whole milk until warm, then froth until it becomes creamy and has a nice foam on top.

Assembling the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a serving cup, pour the brewed espresso shots. Gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing some of the foam to sit on top.

    Add Sweetener (Optional)

    If desired, add 1 teaspoon of sugar or sweetener to taste, stirring gently to combine.
