Tips
For the best results, use freshly brewed espresso and cold milk. Warm milk will not froth as well as cold milk.
If you don’t have vanilla syrup, you can make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heating until the sugar dissolves. Add a few drops of vanilla extract and stir until fully combined.
If you don’t have a milk frother, you can use a whisk or a handheld frother. Simply whisk the milk vigorously until it becomes frothy.
