Instructions
- Extract the espresso and set aside to slightly cool to about 160°F (71°C).
- Froth the cold whole milk to form a velvety microfoam with small, fine bubbles.
- Fill a 12 oz glass with ice.
- Pour the espresso over the ice, then gently pour the frothed milk on top to create a layered effect.
- Serve immediately without stirring.
Tips
- Use cold whole milk for the best microfoam texture; skim milk won’t foam properly. A small glass (12 oz) is ideal to keep the perfect espresso-to-milk ratio.
