Ristretto with Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 ristretto shot (15–20ml of water)
• Steamed milk (about 1 oz or 30ml, microfoam preferred)

Steps:

1. Brew the Ristretto: Pull a shot of ristretto into a small espresso cup.
2. Steam the Milk: Steam a small amount of milk until it’s velvety and has microfoam.
3. Combine: Pour the steamed milk over the ristretto shot, creating a small “mark” or “stain” on top, which is where the “macchiato” (meaning “stained” in Italian) name comes from.
