Ingredients

Scale

60ml espresso
100130ml milk


Instructions

Make the espresso in a 150-170ml heatproof cup using an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you could use compostable pods, a very strong stovetop coffee, or concentrated instant coffee with the consistency of wet sauce.
Steam the milk using an espresso machine steam wand by holding the wand 1-2cm under the milk surface, avoiding cold air intake and hissing noises. Alternatively, use an electric milk frother or a French press to froth the milk if a steam wand is not available.
Gently pour the steamed milk into the center of the espresso. Begin tilting the jug to create a swirling pattern or a simple heart shape by manipulating the flow at the end of the pour. The milk should be smoothly textured and creamy.
