Scaling changes ingredient amounts, not equipment capacity or the instructions. Brew espresso shots separately; batch only within your equipment’s limits.
Ingredients
- 36 g double espresso
- 180 ml cold milk or a steaming-friendly alternative
How to make it
- Brew a double espresso into a warmed mug.
- Steam cold milk in a suitable pitcher, introducing a little air at the beginning, then swirling the milk into a smooth texture. Follow your machine’s instructions.
- Tap and swirl the pitcher gently to remove large bubbles.
- Pour the milk into the espresso and serve, leaving only a light layer of foam on top.
A note for your next cup
No steam wand? Gently warm the milk and use a frother. The texture will be different, but the morning still works.
