Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- espresso machine or coffee machine
- mugs
- frother or whisk
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
- 2 espresso shots or 2 cups (8 ounces each) very strong coffee
- whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- In a microwaveable safe container, heat the milk in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or until hot – not boiling. Froth the milk with a milk frother until it is foamy and has doubled in size.
- Pour equal amounts of espresso and vanilla syrup into two mugs. Add the hot milk into the mugs, reserving the foam. I find it helpful to use a spoon to hold back the foamy milk.
- Spoon frothy milk over the coffee in each mug and finish with whipped cream, if desired.
