Ingredients:

  • 2 shots (2 oz / 60ml) strong espresso OR 1/2 cup (120ml) extra-strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tbsp (30g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Brew your espresso or strong coffee directly into your mug.
  2. Immediately add the sweetened condensed milk while the coffee is steaming hot and whisk vigorously until the mixture is a uniform, glossy mahogany color and no streaks of white remain.
  3. Warm your milk in a small pot or microwave until it is hot to the touch but not boiling (roughly 150°F / 65°C).
  4. Insert your handheld frother at a slight angle and blend for 15-30 seconds until the milk has doubled in volume and looks like melted ice cream.
  5. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee base. For a layered look, pour the milk over the back of a spoon to keep the coffee and milk distinct.
  6. Top with a pinch of cinnamon for an aromatic finish.
