The recipe
17.2 g · 37 g out · 184 ml whole milk · 60 °C
- Pull a double into the diner and have the jug ready before it finishes.
- Steam 184 ml of whole milk to 62 °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.
- Serve straight away, while the crema is still whole.
- Rest a sugar cube on the saucer. It is for the drinker to decide, not the barista.
