Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup hot espresso or strong brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk into a heatproof glass, tilting it to coat the bottom and sides slightly.

  2. 2

    Brew 1 cup of hot espresso or strong coffee. The hotter the coffee, the better it will layer.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour the hot coffee over the back of a spoon into the glass, letting it settle on top of the milk to create two distinct layers.

  4. 4

    Let the drink sit for 1 minute so the layers set. Serve immediately, with a spoon for stirring.

  5. 5

    Stir well before drinking to combine the sweet milk with the coffee. Adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk if desired.

Tools you’ll need

  • Heatproof glass
