The recipe
17.3 g · 36 g out · 70 ml whole milk · 65 °C
- Pull a double into the cortado and have the jug ready before it finishes.
- Steam 70 ml of whole milk to 61 °C: air for the first two seconds only, then drop the tip under and spin it until the jug is too hot to hold.
- Knock the jug, swirl until it shines, and pour.
- Pour from height to sink the foam, then drop the jug to the surface and wiggle a tulip through the crema.
- Grate cinnamon over the top — a rasp, not a shaker.
