Instructions

Brew the espresso into a large mug and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla while the coffee is hot. Stir until the maple syrup is fully dispersed before adding the milk.
Steam the milk until it reaches about 150°F to 155°F (65°C to 68°C), creating a fine, glossy foam. The pitcher should feel hot but the milk should not smell cooked.
Pour the steamed milk into the espresso, holding back the foam at first, then spoon or pour the foam over the top. Serve immediately while the milk is silky and the espresso is aromatic.

Tips

Vanilla bean paste swaps 1:1 for the extract and adds visible vanilla seeds; for a whole bean, use the seeds of 1 bean in place of 2 teaspoons of extract.
Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
