Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Nespresso capsule preferably a bold and rich blend
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure cane sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 dash ground cinnamon
  • as needed whipped cream optional but recommended for the authentic experience
For Garnish
  • 1 sprinkle ground nutmeg

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker or mason jar
  • measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Begin by brewing your Nespresso capsule into a small mug, producing a robust shot of espresso.
  1. In a separate saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium-low heat, ensuring not to bring it to a boil.
  1. As the milk warms, add in the pure cane sugar and pure vanilla extract, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves and the milk becomes infused with the delightful aroma of vanilla.
  1. Once the milk is heated to your desired temperature, carefully pour it over the freshly brewed espresso in the mug, blending the two components to create a harmonious marriage of flavors.
  1. Sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on top of the NOLA Nespresso, adding an extra layer of warmth and spice to the concoction.
  1. For an indulgent touch, top your creation with a dollop of whipped cream, allowing it to float atop the coffee like a cloud gracefully.
  1. To finish, garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, creating a visual spectacle that mirrors the sensational taste you're about to experience.
