Espresso Stained with a Spoonful of Milk Foam

What you need

• 30 ml (1 oz) freshly brewed espresso, one single shot
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) cold whole milk, enough to foam properly
• 1 tsp sugar, optional

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Warm a small espresso cup with hot water, then empty it.

2. 2

   Pour the milk into a small jug. Steam it with the wand until it is warm and forms a thick, dense foam, 10-15 sec. Without a steam wand, heat the milk until it steams, pour it into a jar no more than a third full, close it and shake hard for 30 sec.

3. 3

   Brew a single shot of espresso straight into the cup.

4. 4

   Stir in the sugar if using.

5. 5

   Hold back the liquid milk with a spoon and ladle 1-2 tbsp of foam onto the middle of the espresso, so it leaves a pale spot. Serve right away.
