- Melt 22 g of dark chocolate into the shot while it is still hot, and stir until it is glossy rather than grainy.
- Steam 168 ml of milk to 63 °C.
- Pour through the chocolate so it marbles on the way in.
- Pour from height to sink the foam, then drop the jug to the surface and walk a ring through the crema.
