Ingredients

• 60 ml freshly brewed espresso (a double shot)
• 2 tsp Sugar (optional)
• 8 ice cubes
• 60 ml very cold skimmed or semi-skimmed milk

Method

1. Brew the espresso, stir in the sugar while hot if using, and shake it with 3 ice cubes in a shaker or jar for 15 seconds.
2. Strain it over the remaining ice in a tall glass.
3. Froth the cold milk with a frother, or shake it hard in a clean jar, for 30–40 seconds until thick, stiff foam forms.
4. Spoon the cold foam over the coffee so it sits in a thick white layer on top, and serve with a straw.

Tips

• Skimmed milk makes the stiffest cold foam.
• For a dairy-free version, use a barista-style oat milk.
