In a cocktail shaker or a clean mason jar, combine the maple syrup, a pinch of sea salt, a freshly brewed shot of espresso, and a handful of ice cubes.

Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about fifteen seconds until the espresso is thoroughly chilled and a beautiful foam forms on top.

Pour in your choice of milk, leaving about an inch of space at the top of the glass for the foam layer.

In a separate small cup or small measuring pitcher, combine the single tablespoon of milk, heavy cream, teaspoon of maple syrup, and a small sprinkle of sea salt.

Submerge a handheld electric milk frother into the liquid and turn it on, blending continuously until the mixture thickens, expands, and turns into a luscious, pillowy foam.
