Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Ensure that the espresso is strong and well-extracted for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir frequently to prevent scalding.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mug, combine the brewed espresso and 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup. Stir well to mix the flavors.

  4. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it is creamy and has a light foam on top.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Drink

    Pour the frothed milk into the mug with the espresso and vanilla syrup, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the milk is poured, spoon the remaining foam on top.

Topping

  1. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the frothy drink with 1 cup of whipped cream. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate shavings on top, followed by a dusting of 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
