If you’re looking to elevate your home coffee experience, the Antoccino is a delightful choice that combines the richness of espresso with a velvety touch of steamed milk. This creamy treat is perfect for cozy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up!
Quick Facts
- Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 serving
- Brew method: Espresso-based
Ingredients
- 1 shot (30ml) of espresso
- 60ml of steamed milk
- 15ml of milk foam
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon for dusting (optional)
- Sweetener to taste (optional)
Equipment
- Espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker
- Milk frother or steam wand
- Coffee cup or small glass
Method
- Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop maker. Aim for a rich, bold flavor (around 30ml).
- While the espresso is brewing, steam your milk. Heat it to about 150°F (65°C) for a creamy texture.
- Froth the remaining milk until you achieve a velvety foam. You want about 15ml for that perfect top layer.
- Pour the steamed milk over the espresso, allowing it to mix gently, then spoon the frothed milk on top.
- If desired, dust with cocoa powder or cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor. Sweeten to taste, if you prefer.
Variations
- Add flavored syrups like vanilla or caramel for a sweeter twist.
- Substitute regular milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a non-dairy option.
- Serve it iced by cooling the espresso and milk before combining.
Troubleshooting
If your milk isn’t frothing well, ensure it’s fresh and cold; older milk tends not to froth as nicely.
Serving
Serve your Antoccino in a warm cup and enjoy it as is, or pair it with a sweet pastry for a delightful treat!
