Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup
- Simple syrup
- 1 tablespoon
- Espresso
- 1 shot (1 ounce)
Instructions
- Start by brewing a shot of espresso using an espresso machine. For a bolder flavor, opt for a ristretto shot, which is made with less water to create a more concentrated and flavorful brew.
- In a tall glass, add 1 tablespoon of simple syrup and fill the glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup). The simple syrup will provide a delightful sweetness that balances the boldness of the espresso.
- Pour the hot ristretto shot slowly over the ice cubes. This technique allows the espresso to chill slightly while integrating the sweetness of the syrup.
- Stir well to combine the flavors and let the drink sit for about a minute. This resting time allows the ice to melt slightly, creating a perfect blend of rich flavors and cold refreshment.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating contrast of hot, rich espresso with the refreshing chill of ice.
