Serves 1

Ingredients

Espresso
1 shot
Milk
1 cup
Sambuca liqueur
1 ounce
Cocoa powder
1 tablespoon, for garnish
Sugar
1 teaspoon (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Brew a shot of espresso and set aside. Use a high-quality coffee bean for the best flavor.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Remove from heat and froth the milk using a frother or a whisk until it becomes creamy and frothy. For an extra touch, you can add a pinch of sugar while frothing.
  4. In a coffee mug, pour the Sambuca liqueur, allowing its sweet anise aroma to fill the air.
  5. Carefully pour the hot espresso over the Sambuca, letting the flavors meld together.
  6. Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso and Sambuca, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered look.
  7. Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious harmony of flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For a stronger flavor, consider using a double shot of espresso.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavored syrups or different types of milk such as almond or oat for a unique twist.
  • 💡 Try garnishing with a cinnamon stick for an added layer of flavor.
