Variations that Will Help You Customize!
- Milk Temperature: Be careful not to overheat the milk. Aim for around 150°F (65°C) for a perfect texture—hot enough to foam but not so hot that it loses its sweetness.
- Foam Creation: If you want extra foam, whisk the milk vigorously or use a handheld milk frother for a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Espresso Quality: Freshly brewed dark roast espresso is key for a rich flavor. Make sure your espresso is hot and brewed just before adding to the milk.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes four small servings, but you can adjust it according to your preferences by adding more or less milk or espresso.
- Sweetening: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a bit of sugar or flavored syrups (like vanilla or caramel) to the milk before steaming.
- Presentation: To make it extra special, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the foam before serving.
