3 ingredients

5 steps

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Rinse a wide cup or bowl with hot water to warm it, then empty it.

  2. 2

    Brew the coffee double-strength, so it stays bold once the milk goes in.

  3. 3

    Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it steams and tiny bubbles form at the edge, 2-3 min. Do not let it boil.

  4. 4

    Pour the coffee and the hot milk into the cup at the same time, from opposite sides, in equal parts.

  5. 5

    Stir in the sugar if using. Drink hot.
