Ingredients
- Espresso
- 1 shot (about 1 ounce)
- Milk
- 6 ounces
- Sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons (to taste)
- Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
- Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to avoid scalding.

- Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon, allowing the milk to blend with the espresso.
