1
Prepare the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a pre-warmed cup. Ensure the espresso has a rich crema on top.

2
Steam the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a milk steamer, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Avoid boiling. If using a steamer, froth the milk until it doubles in volume and has a silky texture.

3
Mix the Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a large mug. Slowly add the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the froth with a spoon. Then, spoon the froth on top.
4
Add Flavoring (optional)
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup and sprinkle cinnamon powder on top for extra flavor.

5
Final Touch
Serve immediately while hot. Optionally, you can garnish with additional cinnamon powder or a drizzle of syrup.
