Wash the orange thoroughly. Using a zester or fine grater, carefully zest the orange without including the white pith, and set aside 1 tsp of zest.
Cut the orange in half and squeeze to extract 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk is warm and the sugar dissolves—do not boil.
Froth the heated milk using a frother or whisk until it forms a creamy foam layer.
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop moka pot.
In a serving mug, pour the fresh orange juice and add the brewed espresso. Stir gently to combine.
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso-orange mixture, allowing the foam to settle on top.
Sprinkle the reserved orange zest and cocoa powder over the foam for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Orange Milano!
