Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk steamed or frothed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/3 cup strong coffee
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce for drizzle

Equipment

  • Espresso maker or moka pot

Method
 

  1. Add the vanilla syrup to a glass, then pour in the steamed (or iced) milk.
  2. Slowly pour the espresso over the back of a spoon so it floats and layers on top.
  3. Finish with a crosshatch caramel drizzle and serve.

Notes

The signature look is vanilla on the bottom, espresso poured last. For iced, use cold milk and ice.
