1 part espresso
3 parts steamed milk

 Directions

·Warm up a glass mug by filling it with hot water or placing it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Empty the water before using the mug.

·Steam the milk and set it aside.

·If you don’t have an espresso machine with a steamer wand, heat the milk in a saucepan (155˚ F) and use a milk frother to aerate it.

·Prepare a shot of espresso.

·Add the espresso shot slowly from the side of the mug.

·Spoon the milk froth onto the top of the coffee; garnish and/or sweeten.
