Instructions
- Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method.
- In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Once the almond milk is heated, stir in the marzipan syrup until well combined and fully dissolved.
- Pour the hot marzipan-infused almond milk into a large mug, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Slowly pour the freshly brewed espresso shot over the milk, allowing it to float on top and create a beautiful layered effect.
- Top the drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for added warmth and flavor.
- Finally, garnish with crushed almonds for a delightful crunch and extra almond flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Marzipan Macchiato!
Tips
- For an extra touch, consider drizzling some additional marzipan syrup on top of the whipped cream before serving.
- If you prefer a stronger almond flavor, you can add a splash of almond extract to the almond milk.
