- To a cup, add Chocolate Macadamia Nut Syrup and the espresso shots, and stir to combine.
- Add half & half to a milk frothing pitcher and steam using a steam wand. If you don’t have an espresso machine with a steam wand, you can warm and froth the milk using an aerroccino, or you could warm the milk in a pot/ in the microwave, and froth the warmed half & half with a handheld milk frother until foamy.
- Pour the steamed/frothed half & half over the Chocolate Macadamia Nut Syrup-espresso mixture and enjoy!
