Macchiato Ingredients

Method

Macchiato Directions

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Pour the espresso into a pre-warmed cup.

  2. 2

    Steam Milk

    In a separate container, steam 0.5 cups of milk until it reaches a creamy texture. If you have a milk frother, use it to create a nice foam.

  3. 3

    Add Vanilla Syrup

    Once the milk is steamed, stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the steamed milk into the espresso, allowing the milk to float on top, creating a 'mark' or 'stain' on the espresso.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam for decoration. Optionally, add whipped cream if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious macchiato!
