Step by step

  1. Brew a double ristretto or espresso (30–36 g) into a 150 ml cup.
  2. Steam the milk only briefly at the surface, so it grows just a little.
  3. Heat it to 55–60 °C, a little cooler than for a cappuccino.
  4. Swirl until glossy and pour from close to the cup, ending with a thin white layer.
