Ingredients

• 60 ml freshly brewed espresso (a double shot)
• 2 tsp sugar or 1 tbsp sugar syrup
• 6 ice cubes

Method

1. Put a martini or small wine glass in the freezer to chill.
2. Brew the espresso and stir in the sugar straight away so it dissolves.
3. Fill a cocktail shaker or a jar with a tight lid with the ice, pour in the hot coffee and shake as hard as you can for 30 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
4. Strain into the chilled glass, holding back the ice, so you get a thick layer of creamy foam on top. Drink at once.

Tips

• The harder you shake, the thicker the foam.
• Strong moka-pot coffee works well if you have no espresso machine.
