    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso directly into a large coffee mug or cup.

Steam Milk

  1. 2

    Heat Milk

    Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a small saucepan or steaming pitcher. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

    Froth Milk

    Using a milk frother or steam wand, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and has a velvety texture with microfoam.

Combine Ingredients

    Mix Espresso and Milk

    Pour the steamed and frothed milk over the brewed espresso in the mug. Hold back the foam with a spoon to allow the liquid milk to mix first.
