Espresso

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee into a small cup. Ensure the espresso is rich and topped with a golden crema.

Milk Frothing

  1. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 oz of whole milk until it is warm but not boiling. Froth the milk until it has a velvety texture with a thick foam.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso shots. Use a spoon to hold back the foam, then spoon the foam on top of the drink to create a layered effect.

  2. 4

    Add Optional Toppings

    Sprinkle cocoa powder over the foam or drizzle caramel syrup on top according to your taste preferences.
