Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 to 2 shots espresso (about 2-3 ounces)
- Sugar to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it reaches about 150°F (65°C). Do not boil.
- Froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk vigorously until it has a thick, creamy foam.
- Pour the steamed milk into a tall glass, holding back the foam with a spoon.
- Brew the espresso directly into the center of the milk. The espresso will sink and create layers.
- Top with the remaining foam. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a dairy-free version, use oat milk or soy milk.
- Adjust the amount of espresso to your taste preference.
- If you don't have an espresso machine, use strong brewed coffee as a substitute.
