Method

  1. Prepare a double espresso or a double ristretto of 36-40 g ("Espresso" or "Ristretto" recipes) in a cup of 150-180 ml.

  2. Vaporiza 100-130 ml of milk up to 55-65 ° C in very little air: you want a fine microfoam, no visible bubbles.

    If the foam is thick, hit the pitcher and turn it until it shines like paint.

  3. Pour the milk from close, in a fine and continuous jet, to integrate with the cream and remain a flat layer.

  4. It serves immediately, before the texture is separated.

Tips and warnings

Its origin is disputed between Australia (Sydney, the 1980s) and New Zealand (Wellington). What is clear is the proportion: approximately 1 part of coffee per 2-2.5 of milk.

One last thing

Australia and New Zealand are fighting their origin. You and I can sign the peace with a ko‑fi.
