You will need…
Equipment:
- Cocktail shaker
- Glass
- Moka or coffee machine
- Spoon
Ingredients:
- Authentic Italian Roast Coffee Beans
- Sugar or syrup (if desired)
- Full-fat milk (if desired)
- Ice
Now, let’s shake…
- Use your coffee machine or moka (if you’re feeling particularly Italian) to make a double espresso. Whilst it’s still hot, mix in sugar or a flavoured syrup, if desired. Leave the coffee to cool for a little while. Top tip: to save time in the morning, make your coffee the night before and leave in the fridge overnight to cool.
- Half-fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, and pour the coffee into the shaker. Close the lid firmly, making sure no liquid can get out.
- Shake, shake, shake! Give the mixture a good shake for around 30 seconds.
- Remove the lid and strain your coffee mixture into a glass. If you’ve shaken the coffee enough, the glass should be topped with delicious foam.
- Add cold milk or ice to your coffee if desired, and enjoy!
