  • Instructions
  • Begin by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine, a French press or drip coffee maker will work just fine.
  • Measure out 1-2 tablespoons of your chosen flavored syrup and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir gently to prevent it from scorching.
  • If you prefer a frothy texture, you can use a milk frother or whisk vigorously as it heats up.
  • Once the milk is hot (but not boiling), remove it from the heat and add your brewed espresso or coffee.
  • Stir in the flavored syrup until well combined.
  • Pour the hot drink into your favorite mug.
  • If desired, top it with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Enjoy your homemade hot drink while it's still warm, and feel free to customize it with additional flavors or toppings as you desire!
