Instructions
- Begin by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee using your preferred method – whether it's a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the milk is hot but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the milk is heated, stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the hot milk mixture into the brewed coffee and stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Top the coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm beverage.
- Finish by dusting the top with cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
- Serve hot in your favorite mug and enjoy this tribute to an inspiring Canadian figure!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark roast coffee or adding a shot of espresso.
- You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- For an extra indulgent treat, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream.
