1
Brew the Espresso
Begin by brewing a single shot of espresso using your espresso machine. Make sure to use freshly ground coffee for the best flavor.
2
Add Water (if needed)
If you prefer a milder espresso, you can dilute it with 30 ml of hot water. This is optional and based on personal preference.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a steam wand, heat 200 ml of whole milk until it is warm but not boiling. The ideal temperature is around 150°F (65°C).
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or by whisking vigorously, create a creamy foam on top of the milk. Aim for a velvety texture with small bubbles.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a large coffee cup. Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then, spoon the foam on top.
6
Add Flavorings
If you like, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and sugar to taste. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
