Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 shot of espresso
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar optional
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla (you can also use vanilla bean paste or vanilla bean)
  • cocoa powder for top

Instructions
 

  • Heat milk with vanilla and sugar if using. It is not necessary to boil it just make sure is hot.
  • Prepare the espresso with either the French press, or as I do, with a simple traditional stovetop espresso maker. If you think it is too strong add some hot water to it.
  • Pour the hot milk into the French press. Cover with the top and pump up and down until the desired froth is formed.
  • Pour the frothy milk into a glass until almost full. Set aside for a minute to let the milk separate from the thick foam on top.
  • Pour the espresso over the milk and you will see how it sets between milk and foam, creating this three-layer effect.
  • Sprinkle cocoa powder on top if desired and serve.

Notes

Vanilla Latte Machiatto

Vanilla Latte Machiatto
Did you know that you can still make a latte machiatto or a cappuccino at home without having an Espresso Machine or a Steam Wand? All you need is a simple French press.
Lately I've been delighting each morning with a vanilla latte machiatto, and I wanted to share this with you as it is so easy to prepare.
Latte Machiatto is as you all know a beverage that contains coffee and it differs from a caffe latte as the milk is added first in the glass and then the espresso and creates a "layered" drink that everybody loves.
So let's enjoy this drink together. Happy mornings to everybody.
