Step 1
Pull 1–1.5 oz espresso into a warm ceramic cup. Add sweetener if desired.
Step 2
Heat milk in a steaming pitcher to 150–155°F, or heat in microwave 60–90 seconds until steaming (not boiling).
Step 3
Pour hot milk into espresso, tilting the cup and aiming for a thin layer of foam on top.
Step 4
Serve immediately. The crema and foam should create a delicate coffee crown.
