Cortado Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Brew the Espresso

   Using an espresso machine, brew 1 shot of espresso. Ensure that the espresso is rich and has a good crema on top.

2. 2

   Steam the Milk

   Using a steam wand or a milk frother, steam 3 oz of whole milk until it is hot and slightly frothy. The milk should have a velvety texture.

3. 3

   Combine the Espresso and Milk

   In a small cup, pour the shot of espresso. Slowly add the steamed milk on top, allowing the milk to blend gently with the espresso without losing the crema.
