1
Brew Espresso or Strong Coffee
If using espresso, use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee and brew one cup of espresso using an espresso machine. If using brewed coffee, brew one cup using your preferred method.
2
Prepare Water
If using a coffee maker, fill the reservoir with one cup of water and follow the manufacturer's instructions to brew your coffee.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat one cup of milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
4
Froth the Milk (optional)
If you want a frothy texture, use a milk frother or whisk the hot milk vigorously until frothy.

5
Combine Coffee and Milk
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed espresso or strong coffee. Then, slowly add the hot milk to the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon if desired.
6
Sweeten to Taste
Add sugar or your choice of sweetener to the drink, adjusting the amount to your preference. Stir well to combine.
