Method

Brew the Coffee

  1. 1

    Prepare Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.

    Dilute with Water

    In a separate cup, mix the freshly brewed espresso with 100 ml of hot water to create an Americano base.

Add Flavorings

    Froth the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat 150 ml of milk and 30 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it reaches a creamy consistency.
