Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso (around 60ml) using your preferred method. The espresso should be strong and full-bodied to stand up to the sweetness of the condensed milk.
- In a clear, small glass to showcase the beautiful layers, pour in the condensed milk.
- Slowly pour the freshly brewed espresso over the condensed milk, creating a striking contrast between the dark coffee and the creamy milk.
- Before sipping, stir gently to combine the espresso and condensed milk. This will create a beautifully creamy and sweet coffee drink.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the luxurious taste of this Spanish delight.
Tips
- For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or whole milk instead of condensed milk.
- For a unique twist, try adding a splash of flavored liqueur or a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa on top.
- To achieve the distinct layers, pour the espresso slowly over the back of a spoon onto the condensed milk.
