Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 1 stick cinnamon stick (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare 2 shots of espresso or brew 1/2 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Whisk or froth the steamed milk until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy.
In a coffee mug, combine the brewed espresso, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the mug, holding back some froth with a spoon until the mug is almost full. Gently spoon the remaining froth on top of the drink.
If desired, add whipped cream on top of the frothy layer and garnish with a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.
Serve the Holiday Caffè immediately and enjoy it warm during a cozy moment or alongside holiday treats.
