Instructions
- Brew the Espresso: Start by brewing 1-2 shots of espresso using high-quality coffee beans.
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to keep your drink refreshingly cold.

- Pour Cold Milk: Slowly pour 1 cup of cold milk over the ice and caramel syrup, leaving a bit of room at the top for the espresso.

- Stir and Serve: Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the layers slightly. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla syrup.
Chilling the glass in the freezer before use keeps the drink colder for longer.
To prevent the drink from getting watered down, use espresso ice cubes.
