Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 teaspoon raw sugar or turbinado sugar
  • 4 ounces espresso 4 shots; freshly pressed
  • 4 ounces whole milk ½ cup

Instructions

  1. Add ½ teaspoon of sugar to two cortado glasses (or two small glasses of similar size, about 4.5 ounces each). Pour 2 ounces of espresso into each glass and gently stir to dissolve the sugar. 
  2. Microwave the milk just until steaming, about 30-45 seconds. Use a frothing wand to froth the milk until thick and foamy, about 20-30 seconds. Top each glass of sweetened espresso with the frothed milk. Alternatively, just divide the steamed milk between the two glasses of sweetened espresso (without frothing). Enjoy immediately.
