Espresso
1 shot
Milk

1/4 teaspoon, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop, etc.).

  4. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is frothy and well combined.

Tips

  • 💡 For a richer flavor, try adding a dash of nutmeg or a splash of dark chocolate syrup.
  • 💡 You can make your own vanilla syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water with a vanilla bean until the sugar dissolves, then strain and cool.
  • 💡 For a caffeine-free version, use decaffeinated espresso or substitute espresso with strong brewed coffee.
