Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 75 ml of whole milk
- 75 ml of espresso or strong coffee
Instructions
- Brew your Moka pot coffee using a 10:1 ratio. That is, if your Moka pot has a chamber with a capacity for 125 ml, use 12.5 grams of coffee. You can use 12:1 ratio for a more delicate brew, but I prefer a strong coffee for cortado.
- Heat your milk to 55-60 °C and froth until getting a silky texture. Avoid frothing excessively, or you’ll get too much foam.
- Pre-heat your cup or glass. You can do that by adding a bit of hot water and discarding it, just before serving.
- Serve the coffee in your cup and then pour the frothy milk. If you want, you can try a fancy latte art. Whatever is the case, you’ll be done after adding the milk on top!
