Espresso

5/8 oz (18 g) Espresso coffee grounds1/4 cup (60 ml) Water

Milk

1.01 cup (240 ml) Milk (whole, skim, or non-dairy)

Optional Flavorings

1.01 tbsp (15 ml) Vanilla syrup1 tsp Cocoa powder1 tsp Ground cinnamon

Method

Preparing the Espresso

Brew Espresso

Use an espresso machine to brew 60 ml of espresso using 18 g of finely ground espresso coffee. Ensure the water temperature is between 90-96°C (194-205°F) for optimal extraction.

Steaming the Milk

Steam the Milk

Pour 240 ml of milk into a frothing pitcher. Use the steam wand of the espresso machine to heat and froth the milk until it reaches about 65-70°C (149-158°F). The milk should be creamy with a velvety texture.

Assembling the Drink

Combine Espresso and Milk

Pour the brewed espresso into a cup. Slowly add the steamed milk on top of the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon if making a latte. For a cappuccino, add the foamed milk on top.

Add Flavorings (Optional)

If desired, add vanilla syrup for sweetness or sprinkle cocoa powder or ground cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
