Instructions

1. Put the Hibiscus Syrup in a glass that’s
at least 12 ounces in capacity. Reserve.
2. Put the milk into a heatproof mug. Hold
the mug in one hand and place under
the steam wand so the bottom of the
wand is just below the surface of the
milk at an angle. Select the Steam
function and press the START/STOP
knob to start steaming. While holding
the mug at an angle, allow the steam
to move the milk around. Once the milk
begins to increase in volume, lift the
mug up higher so the steam wand
immerses deeper into the milk (this will
prevent large bubbles from forming and
will make a nice fine milk foam). When
the foam has almost reached the top
of the mug and you can feel that the
milk in the mug is quite hot, press the
START/STOP knob to stop steaming.
Tap the mug a few times to remove any
larger bubbles.
3. Pour the steamed milk into the glass
with the Hibiscus Syrup. Serve
immediately.
