Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Pour it into a small cup.

  2. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat the milk until steaming but not boiling. Froth the milk until it reaches a creamy texture with a bit of foam on top.

  3. 3

    Combine the Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to sit on top. You want to see a distinct layer of milk and espresso.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Toppings

    Sprinkle cocoa powder on top or drizzle caramel syrup over the foam, if desired.
