1
Brew Espresso
Begin by brewing 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a strong coffee alternative.
2
Heat Water
In a small saucepan, heat 60 ml of water until it reaches a simmer. This will help enhance the flavor when combined with the espresso.

3
Steam the Milk
In a separate container, pour 240 ml of milk. Use a steam wand if available, or heat the milk gently on the stove until hot but not boiling. Whisk or froth the milk to create a creamy texture.
4
Add Flavoring
Once the milk is heated, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of sugar or sweetener to the milk. Stir well to combine.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed espresso followed by the heated water. Then, slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso, allowing the froth to sit on top.
6
Add Toppings
For an extra touch, sprinkle 1 tsp of cinnamon or add a tablespoon of chocolate shavings on top. This step is optional, based on personal preference.
