Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1-2 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 6-8 oz steamed milk

Equipment

  • Espresso machine (with steam wand)

Method
 

  1. Pull two shots of espresso into a large mug.
  2. Add the vanilla syrup and stir to combine with the espresso.
  3. Top with steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon to integrate it at the end.
  4. Pro Tip: Make your own vanilla syrup by steeping vanilla bean pods in a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved). It’s far superior to store-bought!
