- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the milk turns frothy and creamy.
- Pour the frothy, Irish cream-infused milk into a large, warm mug. Slowly pour in the brewed espresso, allowing it to blend with the milk.

Tips

- If you don't have a blender, you can also use a milk frother to froth the milk and syrup together.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle some chocolate syrup on top.
