Espresso Macchiato
Servings 1
This espresso macchiato is bold and intense — balanced by a light layer of milk foam. Made with just two ingredients, it’s a quick pick-me-up that’s also easy to make vegan.
Ingredients
- 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) espresso see notes
- 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) milk plant-based for vegan
Instructions
- Start by brewing a double-shot of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don't have one, refer to the notes below2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) espresso
- Froth a small amount of milk to add a creamy texture to your macchiato. Heat a small amount of milk (about 1-2 ounces) and use a milk frother or steam wand to froth it until you have a small amount of creamy foam.2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) milk
- Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a small espresso cup or shot glass.
- Scoop the foam into the center of the espresso.
- Espresso macchiatos are best enjoyed immediately while the coffee is fresh and the contrast between the bold espresso and the touch of milk is at its peak.
