Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Cocoa powder (for garnish)
  • Granulated sugar (1-2 teaspoons (to taste))
  • Crimean sea salt (a pinch, plus extra for garnish)
  • Milk (1 cup (whole or your choice of milk))
  • Espresso (1 shot (about 1 ounce))

Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker for optimal flavor.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it is hot but not boiling. You want it to steam but not scald.
  3. Using a milk frother, whisk, or even a jar with a lid, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and foamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Pour the hot espresso into a large mug. Add a pinch of Crimean sea salt and sugar, adjusting the sweetness to your preference.
  5. Slowly pour the frothed milk into the mug, using a spoon to hold back the foam and create a layered effect. Aim for a creamy top layer.
  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder and an extra pinch of Crimean sea salt for added flavor.
  7. Serve hot and savor the delightful combination of flavors!
