Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Begin by brewing two shots of illy Classico espresso using your espresso machine. Ensure the machine is preheated for optimal extraction.

  2. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 ounce of milk until it's warm (not boiling) and froth it until you achieve a silky texture.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the brewed espresso shots into a small cup. Gently add the frothed milk on top of the espresso, allowing it to float on the surface. Serve immediately.
