Espresso Base

Milk Froth

Method

Brew Espresso

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Start by measuring 18g of espresso coffee grounds and place them into your espresso machine's portafilter. Ensure the coffee grounds are evenly distributed and tamped down firmly.

  2. 2

    Brew the Espresso

    Attach the portafilter to the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow 60ml of water to flow through the coffee grounds, extracting the espresso. Once brewed, pour the espresso into a pre-warmed cup.

Froth Milk

  1. 3

    Prepare the Milk

    Pour 200ml of whole milk into a milk frother or a small saucepan if using a stovetop method.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    If using a frother, froth the milk until it reaches a creamy, velvety texture. If using a saucepan, heat the milk on medium heat while whisking vigorously until it becomes frothy.

  3. 5

    Add Vanilla Syrup

    Once the milk is frothed, add 15ml of vanilla syrup to the milk and give it a gentle stir to combine.

Assemble the Lspresso

  1. 6

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed vanilla milk over the brewed espresso in the cup, allowing it to create a layered effect.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top and add 1 tbs of dark chocolate shavings for a delightful finish.
