Coffee Ingredients

Milk Ingredients

Preparation

Preparing the Espresso

1. Brew the Espresso

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

2. Add Sugar

Once the espresso is brewed, add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the espresso. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Preparing the Milk

3. Heat the Milk

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. You can also use a milk frother for this step.

4. Froth the Milk

If using a saucepan, whisk the hot milk vigorously to create a frothy texture. If using a frother, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and frothy.

Combining the Ingredients

5. Combine Espresso and Milk

In a serving cup, pour the sweetened espresso first. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing it to blend slightly.

6. Serve

Serve the cortadito immediately while hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top.
