How to Make the Perfect Cortado ☕✨

[zoeyy]

Craving something bold but smooth? A cortado might just be what you need! This simple, yet delicious espresso-based drink combines the rich flavors of coffee with the creaminess of milk—creating a perfectly balanced sip. Let’s dive into how to make your very own cortado at home!

Ingredients:

• 1 shot of espresso (about 1 ounce)
• 1 ounce of steamed milk
• Optional: sugar or sweetener to taste

Procedure:

1. Brew Your Espresso: Start by brewing a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine. The quality of the espresso makes a big difference, so choose your beans wisely!
2. Steam the Milk: Steam your milk to around 150°F (65°C). You want it to be silky smooth, not too frothy—just enough to blend with the espresso.
3. Combine the Two: Pour the steamed milk into your espresso. The ratio is about 1:1, so make sure your milk is just the right amount to balance the strength of the espresso.
4. Optional Add-Ins: If you like a touch of sweetness, add a little sugar or sweetener to taste. Stir gently, and you’re all set.

And there you have it—a smooth, creamy cortado that’s easy to make and perfect for any time of day! Whether you’re sipping it solo or sharing with a friend, it’s a delicious way to enjoy your coffee fix. Enjoy your cortado and share the love with others. #CortadoTime #CoffeeLovers
