Instructions

Extract espresso and stir in any syrup while hot if desired.
Fill a 16 oz glass with ice.
Pour cold half-and-half over the ice.
Slowly pour the espresso over the half-and-half; stir gently and serve.

Tips

Use half-and-half instead of milk for a richer, creamier texture typical of a breve. Serve immediately to maintain the cold temperature and frothy texture.
