Ingredients
- 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Brew your coffee using your preferred method. We recommend using a French press or drip coffee maker for best results.
- While your coffee is brewing, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Be sure not to let it boil.
- Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and use a frother or whisk to create foam. You want the milk to be about twice the volume and have a thick, velvety texture.
- Pour the coffee into a large mug.
- Add sugar if desired and stir until it dissolves.
- Pour the hot milk into the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon.
- Spoon the foam on top of the coffee and milk mixture.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for added flavor and enjoy!
Tips
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of regular brewed coffee.
- You can use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond or soy milk, but the texture of the foam may vary.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste preference.
