Recipe Details

Cuisine: Beverage
Servings: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

1 shot of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for that extra flair)

Equipment/Utensils

Espresso machine or coffee maker
Milk frother
Small saucepan
Mug
Spoon for stirring

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Espresso: Brew a shot of espresso or strong coffee. If you’re using a coffee maker, just make sure it’s potent enough to stand up to the almond milk.
Heat the Almond Milk: Pour almond milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
Froth the Milk: Use a milk frother to froth the almond milk until it’s nice and creamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can whisk vigorously by hand.
Combine Ingredients: Pour the vanilla syrup into your mug. Add the espresso shot on top. Gently spoon the frothed almond milk over the espresso, allowing the froth to float on top.
Add Cinnamon (Optional): For a touch of extra class, sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon on top. It’s like putting on a fancy scarf—totally optional but makes a difference.
Serve and Enjoy: Sip with a self-satisfied grin and enjoy your sophisticated creation.
