1
Prepare espresso
Brew two shots of espresso (about 60 ml) using a standard 9-bar pressure espresso machine. Pour into a warmed mug.
2
Steam milk
Pour 180 ml of cold milk into a steam pitcher. Steam until the milk reaches about 65°C and develops a silky microfoam.
3
Combine espresso and milk
Pour the 60 ml of milk foam into the mug with the espresso, tilting the cup slightly to blend the liquids smoothly.
4
Top with foam
Spoon the remaining 60 ml of steamed milk foam on top to create a light, airy layer. Optional: dust with cocoa powder, cinnamon, or vanilla sugar.
5
Sweeten (optional)
If desired, add sugar or syrup to taste and give a gentle stir to integrate.
