For the Cream

  • 4 oz half-and-half Heated to hot but not boiling

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Brew a shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
  • While the espresso brews, heat the half-and-half in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not let it boil; you just want it hot.
  • Once the half-and-half is hot, use a frother or a whisk to foam it until it becomes creamy and bubbly.

Assembly

  • Pour the hot espresso into a cup.
  • Slowly add the frothed half-and-half over the espresso.
  • If you like, add sweetener or flavor syrup to taste.

Notes

Serve in a clear glass cup to showcase the layers. Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon for extra flavor. Enjoy warm or iced. Use fresh coffee beans for the best flavor. Experiment with different milks for varied tastes. Dairy-free options include almond, oat, or coconut milk.
