Coffee

Milk

Optional Toppings

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the coffee grounds are tamped evenly for optimal extraction.

Milk Frothing

  1. 2

    Heat and Froth Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is creamy and has a good amount of foam.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso first. Slowly add the frothed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon to create layers. Once combined, spoon the remaining milk foam on top.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder over the top for a touch of flavor. If desired, add sugar or vanilla syrup to taste, stirring gently to incorporate.
