- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the cranberry juice over low-medium heat until warm but not boiling. Set aside.
In another saucepan, heat the milk gently over low heat until it begins to steam. Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a layer of foam.

In a mixing bowl, combine warm cranberry juice, espresso, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved and the flavors are combined.
Divide the cranberry-espresso mixture evenly between two mugs.
Pour the steamed milk into each mug, ensuring the foamed milk sits on top.
Top each drink with a dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon and garnish with dried cranberries for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cranberry Milano!
