Preparing Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Begin by brewing a single shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Use freshly ground coffee beans for the best flavor.

    Measure out 30 ml of water to be used for diluting the espresso if desired.

Steaming Milk

    Steam the Milk

    In a separate container, pour 30 ml of milk. Use a milk steamer or frother to steam the milk until it is heated and slightly frothy.

  2. 4

    Pour Milk

    Once the milk is steamed, gently pour it over the espresso shot, allowing the foam to sit on top.

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Add Sugar or Cocoa (Optional)

    If desired, add sugar or cocoa powder to taste. Stir gently to combine.
