Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind the Beans

    Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso brewing.

  2. 2

    Brew the Espresso

    In an espresso machine, use the ground coffee and 60 ml of water to brew a shot of espresso. Aim for a brewing time of about 25-30 seconds for optimal flavor.

Milk Foam Preparation

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not allow it to boil.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Once the milk is heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it has doubled in volume and has a velvety texture.

  3. 5

    Add Vanilla Syrup

    Stir in 15 ml of vanilla syrup to the frothed milk for a sweet, aromatic flavor.

  4. 6

    Add Cinnamon

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the frothed milk and gently stir to combine.

Assembling the Drink

  1. 7

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a preheated coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso shot first, followed by the frothed milk mixture over the top.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the milk foam. Optionally, place 2 coffee beans on the foam for decoration.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your handcrafted Slacktide Espresso!
