Coffee shop drinks can be a surprisingly tricky category when you're avoiding certain ingredients, since flavored syrups and pre-made mixes often contain unexpected additives. This one keeps things beautifully simple — just espresso, whole milk, ice, and an optional touch of simple syrup if you like a hint of sweetness. The technique of pouring the espresso over the milk creates that gorgeous layered effect before you stir it all together, making it feel a little fancy even on a Tuesday morning. Whole milk gives the drink a creamy, full-bodied richness that pairs perfectly with the bold espresso shots. Whether you pull the shots on an espresso machine or use a stovetop moka pot, the result is a smooth, café-quality drink you can make in minutes at home.
