Ingredients
  

  • Espresso double shot, about 2 ounces

  • Optional: flavored syrup or spices for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Espresso: Brew a double shot of espresso using a quality dark roast coffee.
  2. Steam the Half-and-Half: Heat the half-and-half until it is hot and lightly frothy, being careful not to overheat or overly foam.
  3. Combine and Serve: Pour the hot steamed half-and-half over the espresso in a pre-warmed mug. Stir gently to blend.
  4. Garnish (Optional): Add a dash of flavored syrup or a sprinkle of spices like cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, adjust the ratio of half-and-half to suit your taste.
Consider using a high-quality espresso machine and grinder for the best flavor.
