Ingredients

  • 2 oz espresso or very strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk into a clear glass or small coffee cup, tilting it to coat the bottom.

  2. 2

    Brew 2 oz of espresso or very strong coffee using your preferred method (espresso machine, moka pot, or French press).

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the hot coffee over the back of a spoon held just above the condensed milk to create a distinct layer.

  4. 4

    Let the drink sit for a minute so the layers settle and the contrast is visible.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, with a spoon for stirring. Stir well before drinking to combine the sweet milk with the coffee.

  6. 6

    For a twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to the condensed milk before pouring the coffee.
