1
Brew the Espresso
Prepare a single shot of espresso using your espresso machine.
2
Steam the Milk
In a steaming pitcher, steam the milk until it reaches a temperature of about 150°F (65°C). It should be velvety and smooth.
3
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the steamed milk over the espresso shot, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Aim for a 1:2 ratio of espresso to milk.
4
Add Milk Foam
Top the drink with a small amount of milk foam for garnish.
5
Serve
Serve immediately in a small glass or cup.
