🧂 Ingredients

2 oz Espresso
2 oz Milk
Cocoa powder or cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

1 Brew a double shot (2 oz Espresso / 60 ml) of espresso using an espresso machine
directly into the serving glass or a pitcher. Alternatively, brew strong coffee
with a Moka pot to make 2 oz.
2 Heat 2 oz Milk (60 ml) to about 140°F (60°C). Create a silky texture with just a
light layer of microfoam using a steaming wand, electric frother, or stovetop
frother.
3 Pour the steamed milk on top of the espresso. For an extra touch use Cocoa
powder or cinnamon for dusting.
