Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 shots Brewed espresso
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat gently until steaming, but do not let it come to a boil.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the milk mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
In your serving cup, pour the freshly brewed espresso shots.
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the hot milk mixture until light and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the milk mixture to a blender for a few seconds to create froth.
Slowly pour the frothy milk mixture over the espresso shots, holding back some foam with a spoon and topping the drink with the remaining foam.
Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Cream a Cino!
