Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
- 0.25 cup whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoon cocoa powder
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium-low heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother to both heat and froth the milk.
Stir the vanilla syrup into the steamed milk until fully combined.
Pour the brewed espresso into a large coffee mug or heatproof glass.
Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso while holding back the froth with a spoon. Once the milk is poured, top the drink with the milk froth.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the milk froth for extra creaminess.
Finish by sprinkling a pinch of cocoa powder over the whipped cream for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cafe Milano!
