Brew 2 shots of Uprise espresso according to your espresso machine’s instructions. Ensure a strong and bold brew.
Step 3: Heat Milk
In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it starts to steam. Do not let it boil.Â

Step 6: Sweeten with Honey

Once the milk is steaming, remove it from the heat and froth it using a milk frother or whisk until it becomes creamy and foamy.
Step 8: Combine
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the spiced espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the milk to pour first.
