Ingredients

  • 1 part strong coffee
  • 1 part steamed milk

Instructions

  • Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method.
  • While the coffee is brewing, heat the milk.
  • Fill your coffee mug half full with hot coffee.
  • Then fill the rest with the steamed milk.

Notes

You can heat milk with the steaming wand on an espresso machine, a milk frother, or simply in a small pot on the stovetop.
If desired, add sugar or sweetener to taste. Stir gently to incorporate.
You can use any method to make strong coffee that you prefer. Here’s how to make Chemex coffee, French Press coffee and Aeropress coffee.
Whole or 2% milk is most common, but you can use any milk or a milk alternative, like oat milk, if you prefer.
