Method
Preparing Espresso
- 1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop Moka pot or a French press, but the espresso machine provides the best flavor and crema.
Steaming Milk
- 2
Steam the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Once steaming, use a milk frother to froth the milk until it has doubled in volume and you achieve a velvety texture. If you don’t have a frother, whisk vigorously until foamy.
Combining Ingredients
- 3
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed espresso. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for flavor. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to sit on top.
