Equipment

Immersion blender frother, or blender

Ingredients

1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons heavy cream Optional. Or just add more milk.
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon honey maple syrup or powdered sugar. More or less.

Instructions

To a tall glass, add your milk, sweetener of choice, and vanilla extract.
Froth for 20-30 seconds or until your milk has about tripled in size.
Pour on top of your drink slowly to help prevent the cream mixture from sinking.

Notes

Use a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or honey, or powdered sugar for better incorporation.
Experiment with different types of milk, such as whole, skim, or alternative options like almond or oat milk, to find the perfect balance for your preferences. I usually just use raw milk that has not been skimmed.
Aim for a smooth, consistent pour to create a luxurious foam that complements your coffee perfectly.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet coffee drinks, but if you are, add more sweetener to your liking.
Use a glass that is at least 2-3x the amount of milk. It froths up a lot and expands. I like to use a pint and a half mason jar.
