    3. 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
    4. 2 cups brewed espresso
    5. Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk with 1 cup of the sugar and stir over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour the milk into a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
