So, this is a beverage I learned to make easily at home. And, do so often. My mother-in-law treated me to a small espresso machine a few years ago, and I really love it. I thought it wouldn’t get much use in my kitchen, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. You could also use very strong regular brewed coffee if you don’t have access to espresso. A little bit of vanilla simple syrup for sweetness, a couple of glugs of cold milk – all over ice. You’ll be set for the day! And, you can save that $5 you saved on a cocktail at Happy Hour instead. Enjoy!
To make the vanilla syrup, combine sugar and water in small saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Add vanilla extract and set aside to cool.
Pour a couple of teaspoons of vanilla syrup into your serving glass. Fill the glass with ice. Fill the glass with milk, leaving just enough room for the coffee.
Brew 2 shots of espresso. Pour the espresso shot over the milk and serve immediately.
Thanks Amy. I meant to go back and add the amount of syrup in the recipe, but forgot! Will definitely save you a few bucks. All worth it for the cost of a good dog!
