Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a cup.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    In a separate kettle, heat 240 ml of water until boiling. Pour it over the espresso to enhance the flavor.

Assemble Latte Macchiato

    Layer the Drink

    In a tall glass, slowly pour the steamed milk into the glass, filling it up about 3/4 full. Then, gently pour the brewed espresso over the milk to create a layered effect.
