Time needed: 15 minutes

Ingredients
1. 2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee)
2. 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
3. 1 cup of ice cubes
4. Milk (optional)

  1. Brew Espresso

    Brew the espresso shots or prepare strong brewed coffee. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.

  2. Combine and Shake

    In a cocktail shaker or a tightly sealed container, combine the espresso, vanilla syrup, and ice cubes. Close the shaker/container securely and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will help create a frothy texture and blend the flavors.
