- Brew two shots of espresso or prepare ½ cup of strong coffee.
- Froth the warm vanilla-infused milk using a milk frother, steam wand, or whisk.

- Top with whipped cream if desired and garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a few vanilla bean seeds. Serve immediately.
Additional Tips
