Ingredients:

  • 2 shots (2 ounces or 60 ml) of freshly brewed espresso

  • Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso and set aside in a large mug.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming (do not boil). If using a milk frother, froth the milk until a creamy texture is achieved.
  3. Pour 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup into the espresso and mix gently.
  4. Slowly add the steamed milk to the espresso mixture, pouring over the back of a spoon for a layered effect.
  5. Top with whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top.
