Tips & Customizations

• Use a handheld frother, electric whisk, or French press to froth.
• Try homemade vanilla syrup by mixing equal parts water and sugar with a splash of vanilla extract.
• Substitute oat or almond milk to keep it dairy-light but still creamy.
• Make it seasonal by swapping vanilla for cinnamon or maple syrup.
