Equipment

  • 1 espresso machine
  • 1 milk frother
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 Cortado or gibraltar glass for serving

Ingredients

  • 2 oz espresso finely ground
  • 2 oz half & half

Instructions

  • Prepare the Espresso. Prepare a single or double shot of espresso using finely ground coffee.
  • Steam or froth half-and-half. Pour 2 ounces half-and-half into a cup and heat it until the temperature reaches about 140℉ to 160℉. Froth and allow it to set. 
  • Combine espresso and half-and-half. Add the espresso to the cortado or Gibraltar glass and pour the half-and-half over it as slowly as you possibly can, holding the foamed milk back with a spoon in the frothing pitcher. 
    Then spoon the saved milk foam on top. If you want to add some extra flair, sprinkle cocoa powder or any other topping you like on the top.
