1
Brew Espresso
Use an espresso machine to brew 2 shots of espresso. Make sure to use finely ground coffee and pack it tightly in the portafilter.
2
Add Hot Water
After brewing, add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the espresso to mellow the flavor.

3
Heat the Milk
Pour 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and becomes creamy.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a small cup, pour the brewed espresso mixed with hot water. Gently spoon a dollop of frothed milk on top of the espresso.
6
Sweeten (optional)
If desired, add sugar or vanilla syrup to taste. Stir gently to combine.
