Step 1
Pour the 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk into a clear glass or small coffee cup, tilting it to coat the bottom.
Step 2
Brew 2 oz of espresso or very strong coffee using your preferred method (espresso machine, moka pot, or French press).
Step 3
Slowly pour the hot coffee over the back of a spoon held just above the condensed milk to create a distinct layer.
Step 4
Let the drink sit for a minute so the layers settle and the contrast is visible.
Step 5
Serve immediately, with a spoon for stirring. Stir well before drinking to combine the sweet milk with the coffee.
Step 6
For a twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to the condensed milk before pouring the coffee.
