In this blog we like to share tasty winter recipes and ideas that will help you warm up again and get through these cold days!

  • Espresso
  • Steamed milk

  • Start by pouring the frothed milk from a high position into your mug, cup or glass. Continue pouring the milk into your espresso syrup mix as you lower the milk pitcher toward the cup and steepen the pouring angle.
  • Try to leave a small amount of stiff milk foam at the top of the cup after pouring the milk into the espresso syrup mixture.
  • (Optional) Add a dash of whipped cream to the top of the milk.
