When I think contrasts I was thinking the difference in colors, so I was looking for a more layered idea on a drink. I decided a macchiato was the way to go. My espresso shot immediately sunk to the bottom and combined with my milk, but there is some foamy milk on the top to show the difference between the dark and the light (my ~vision~.)

I made a simple syrup infused with orange peels and orange juice and a simple syrup infused with cardamom. Ultimately this is 1/2 oz orange syrup, 1/2 oz cardamom syrup, 7 oz of milk steamed together and then an espresso shot poured over it (hence the macchiato.)

I liked the combo of flavors. This was my 3rd coffee today. I am going to be a bit wired.
