Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Cocoa powder or cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Start by brewing 2 shots of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop Moka pot. Pour the espresso into your favorite coffee mug.
In a small saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil. Alternatively, use a milk frother to steam and foam your milk.
Stir in 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of sugar into the warm milk until fully dissolved.
Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to achieve a layered look. Then, gently spoon the remaining foam on top of the drink.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle 0.25 teaspoons of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, aromatic Cafe Venitzio!
