Description
A rich and creamy macchiato made with espresso and frothed milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces espresso shots
- 2 ounces whole milk foam
Instructions
- Use an espresso machine or manual espresso maker to make one shot of espresso and pour it into a mug (or try our Aeropress Espresso).
- Start with 1/2 cup milk (you’ll only use 1/4 cup foam). Heat the milk to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot to the touch but not simmering. Measure with a food thermometer, or you can approximate by testing with your finger.
- Use the espresso machine or a milk frother, French press or whisk to froth milk into small, even bubbles. You’ll want lots of “dry foam” for a macchiato: the fluffy stuff! The milk frother is great for this type of foam. We highly recommend reading How to Froth Milk if this is your first time frothing.
- Use a spoon to remove the top of the foam (dry foam) and gently place it on top of the espresso. You should use about 1/4 cup foam for one drink.
Notes
- Ensure to froth the milk until small, even bubbles form for best results.
- This macchiato is best enjoyed immediately.
