1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew a single shot of espresso into a small cup.
2
Steam Milk
Using a steam wand, heat and froth the whole milk until it reaches a temperature of about 150°F (65°C) and has a velvety texture.
3
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the steamed milk gently over the espresso. The goal is to achieve a 1:1 ratio of espresso to milk, allowing the rich coffee flavor to shine through.
4
Serve
Serve immediately in a small glass or cup, and enjoy your cortado!
