Ingredients

☕ 2 oz. double shot espresso Whole Latte Love Malabar Gold Espresso beans
🍫 3/4 oz. Monin Spicy Chocolate Syrup
🍫 1 oz. Monin Dark Chocolate Syrup
🥛 8 oz. steamed milk, start with 6 oz. cold milk
🍫 Cocoa powder, for garnish
🌿 Cinnamon stick, for garnish and stirring

Instructions

1- Grind Espresso Beans:

Use the Baratza Forte grinder to grind the Whole Latte Love Malabar Gold Espresso beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso making.

2- Brew Espresso:

Use the Profitec Pro 500 espresso machine. Attach a standard portafilter filled with tamped ground espresso.
Place the Rattleware measuring glass under the spouts and brew a double shot (2 oz.) of espresso.

3- Steam Milk:

Pour 6 oz. of cold milk into a 12 oz. Rattleware steaming pitcher.
Purge the steam wand of the Profitec Pro 500, then steam the milk by placing the wand just below the surface.
Aerate the milk by lowering the pitcher slightly for a "ripping" sound and then submerging the wand deeper once aerated.
Stop steaming when the pitcher is too hot to hold comfortably.

4- Combine Ingredients:

In a clear glass mug, pour the brewed espresso.
Add Monin Spicy Chocolate Syrup and Monin Dark Chocolate Syrup.
Stir the concoction gently using a cinnamon stick.

5- Add Steamed Milk:

Tap and swirl the milk pitcher to eliminate bubbles for smooth microfoam.
Pour the milk into the mug, aiming for the center to integrate the microfoam.

6- Garnish and Serve:

Lightly dust the top with cocoa powder.
Serve with the cinnamon stick in the drink for added flavor.
