Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Milk
- 1 cup, whole or your choice of milk (almond, oat, etc.)
- Agave syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
- Espresso
- 1 shot (about 1 ounce)
Instructions
- Start by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, Aeropress, etc.).
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
- Remove the milk from the heat and add the agave syrup. Stir until the syrup is fully dissolved.
- Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and foamy, achieving a light and airy texture.
- In a cup, pour the shot of espresso, followed by the frothed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon initially to create a layered effect.
- Gently stir the mixture to combine the bold flavors of espresso and the sweetness of the agave-infused milk.
- Serve hot and savor the delightful blend of flavors. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for an extra touch.
