Ingredients Needed:

• 1 shot espresso coffee
• Boiling water
• Steamed milk
• Raw sugar cube

How To Make Cafe Americano?

1. Prepare the Espresso: Brew 30ml of espresso coffee and pour it into a 180ml cup.
2. Add Boiling Water: Pour 120ml of boiling water into the cup until it reaches the top, diluting the espresso.
3. Serve with Steamed Milk: Steam 60ml of milk and serve it on the side, allowing the drinker to add it as desired.
4. Add Sugar: Optionally, serve a raw sugar cube on the side for sweetness, adding it according to taste.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Espresso: Make sure your espresso is freshly brewed for the best taste. Stale espresso can make the drink taste bitter.
• Adjust Water Ratio: If you like a stronger flavor, use less water; for a milder taste, add more water to dilute the espresso.
• Choose the Right Milk: For a creamier taste, use whole milk, but if you prefer a lighter option, try skim milk or a non-dairy alternative.
• Control the Sugar: Start with one sugar cube and adjust according to your sweetness preference. You can always add more later.
• Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Café Americano fresh. Waiting too long can make it lose its bold and fresh flavor.
