  1. Pull a double shot of espresso (18g coffee to 36ml water) and let cool for 2 minutes
  2. In a small saucepan, gently warm the milk with gingerbread syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger
  3. Using a milk frother or French press, create thick microfoam from the spiced milk mixture
  4. Chill a martini glass in the freezer for 2 minutes
  5. Pour the cooled espresso into the chilled martini glass
  6. Slowly spoon the spiced milk foam on top, creating the signature macchiato 'mark'
  7. Top with a small dollop of whipped cream
  8. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and light dusting of ground cinnamon
) [strapi_tips] => Array ( [0] =>
  • Make homemade gingerbread syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and molasses
  • For extra richness, substitute half-and-half for whole milk
  • Chill your martini glass beforehand for the best presentation
  • The key to a good macchiato is the contrast between the dark espresso and light foam - don't mix them together
