Instructions

1. Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method and set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the fresh mint leaves to the hot milk and let steep for 2-3 minutes, allowing the mint to infuse its flavor into the milk.
4. Carefully remove the mint leaves from the milk and discard them, ensuring that the milk retains its refreshing mint flavor.
5. In a blender, combine the mint-infused milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and frothy, creating a delightful minty milk base.
6. Pour the mint milk mixture into a tall glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
7. Slowly pour the espresso shot over the mint milk, allowing it to create a beautiful layered effect.
8. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint on top for an added touch of elegance.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating flavors of the Atlas Mountain Mint Macchiato!
