Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker.

  2. 2

    Heat Water

    In a small pot, heat 60 ml of water until it is just below boiling. This will be used to dilute the espresso slightly, if desired.

Milk Frothing

  1. 3

    Heat Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth Milk

    Using a frother, whisk, or a jar with a lid, froth the warm milk until it is light and airy. Aim for a velvety texture with a good amount of foam.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Water

    Once the espresso is brewed, you can mix it with the heated water if you prefer a milder taste.

  2. 6

    Add Milk Foam

    Pour the frothed milk over the espresso slowly, allowing the foam to rise to the top.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the milk foam to add a touch of flavor.
