  2. Add the hot espresso, simple syrup, and vanilla extract if using to a cocktail shaker along with 1/2 cup of ice cubes.
  3. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is frothy and well-chilled.
  4. Fill a tall glass with the remaining 1/2 cup of ice cubes.

  6. Top with milk, pouring gently to create a layered effect, and serve immediately.
