Servings:
1 Serving
Ingredients
  • 1 ounce dark roast ground coffee
  • ½ cup hot water
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • sprinkle of cinnamon, for garnish
Directions
  1. Put the coffee grounds in a French press. Add the hot water. Let the coffee steep for 4 minutes, then push the plunger down and pour into a mug.
  2. While the coffee is steeping, pour the milk into a small pot and heat to medium-high. Heat the milk to 140-150 F — use a food thermometer to test the temperature.
  3. Pour the hot milk into a large container (ideally one with a spout) and use a handheld frothing wand to froth the hot milk, which should take 3 minutes.
  4. Pour the frothed milk into the mug on top of the coffee. It should be very foamy on top. Add sweetener now if needed. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.
  5. Add optional whipped cream if desired.
