Italian Coffee Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Espresso

   Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Ensure that you have freshly ground coffee for the best flavor.

2. 2

   Heat the Water

   In a kettle or pot, heat 6 oz of water until it is hot but not boiling. This will be used to dilute the espresso.

3. 3

   Combine Espresso and Water

   In a coffee mug, pour the hot water over the brewed espresso shots. This will create the Americano base for your drink.

4. 4

   Add Amaretto

   Pour 1 oz of Amaretto liqueur into the mug with the espresso and hot water mixture. Stir gently to combine.

5. 5

   Sweeten to Taste

   Add 1 tsp of sugar to the coffee mixture, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

6. 6

   Top with Whipped Cream (Optional)

   If desired, add 2 tablespoons of whipped cream on top of the coffee for a creamy finish.
