Method
Prepare Espresso
- 1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. Ensure the coffee is fresh and of high quality for the best flavor.
Froth Milk
- 2
Froth the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and airy, creating a microfoam texture.
Combine Ingredients

Assemble the Macchiato
In a serving cup, pour the brewed espresso shots. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup or a drizzle of caramel sauce for flavor. Gently spoon the frothed milk on top of the espresso, allowing a small amount of the espresso to show through the froth, creating a 'stained' effect characteristic of a macchiato.
Serve

Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade macchiato! Optionally, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
