Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Honey
- 1 tablespoon
- Thistle milk
- 1 cup
- Espresso
- 1 shot (about 1 ounce)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine, stovetop pot, or aeropress.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the thistle milk until it is hot but not boiling. Stir gently to prevent scorching.
- Once hot, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and frothy.
- Pour the hot thistle milk mixture into a mug, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Slowly pour the shot of espresso over the back of a spoon or directly into the milk. This technique will create a beautiful layered effect with the espresso settling on top.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy the floral and rich flavors of your Thistle Macchiato!
