Description
This simple recipe is made using an espresso machine. But, as I said before, if you don’t have one, you can make strong coffee with a Moka pot. Or even an AeroPress. Using a Moka pot is preferable if you want to make cortaditos for a crowd. In this case, you would whip the sugar/coffee mix for all cups at once and portion it out for serving.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of espresso
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- Steamed milk
- Serving cup
- Spoon or small whisk
Instructions
- Add the sugar to the serving cup and set it aside
- Pull your double shot of espresso
- Pour a small amount of coffee into the sugar and whip until light and fluffy
- Add the remaining coffee to the cup and stir to combine
- Top with an equal amount of steamed milk
Notes
Top tip: When creating espuma, add just enough coffee to wet the sugar. It will be a thick, grainy paste at first, but once the sugar dissolves, it will become looser.
