Instructions

  1. Brew the coffee in the moka pot and take it off the heat when it starts to sputter.
  2. Warm the milk in a small saucepan or the microwave until steaming but not boiling.
  3. Pour the coffee into a small glass. Add sugar if you like and stir.
  4. Pour in the hot milk. Stir gently and sip slowly.

Tip: make it milkier by using a little more milk, or add a pinch of cinnamon. For a stovetop pot that stays smooth, see Moka Pot Basics.
