Instructions
- Start by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. You want it to steam lightly.
- Once the milk is heated, pour it into a blender. Add the cognac, sugar, and cocoa powder.
- Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is frothy and well combined. If you don't have a blender, you can use a milk frother or whisk to achieve the frothiness.
- Pour the frothy milk mixture carefully over the freshly brewed espresso shot.
- For a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this decadent coffee experience!
Tips
- For an extra indulgent touch, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Experiment with flavored cognacs or infuse your milk with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique twist.
- If you prefer a less intense drink, you can use half-and-half or oat milk for a creamier texture.
