Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make latte macchiato at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients. If you have coffee beans, they need to be ground in a coffee grinder. If already ground, then measure 1.5 tsp . Freshly ground coffee usually turns out more fragrant. Milk needs to be fatter, from 3.2% and higher. I made two servings of coffee, so I took 2 times more ingredients.
Step 2:
Pour ground coffee into the turk, pour cold water and put it on a slow fire. Stir and cook until the coffee starts to boil, but do not boil. Remove the turkey from the heat. If desired, you can bring the drink to the boiling point 2-3 more times and remove it from the fire.
Step 3:
Strain the finished strong coffee through a special filter bag or a fine strainer to cut off the coffee grounds. Pour the coffee back into a clean cup and put it on the slowest fire again. This is necessary so that the coffee does not get cold.
Step 4:
Heat the milk to 50-70 degrees. The milk should be hot, but do not bring it to a boil: it should be colder than coffee. I was checking the temperature with a cooking thermometer. If you don't have such a thermometer, then just wait until a light steam starts rising from the milk and remove it from the fire.
Step 5:
Beat the hot milk with a mixer or blender for about 4 minutes until a stable fluffy foam appears. If you have a French press, you can beat the milk in it by raising and lowering the plunger.
Step 6:
Carefully pour the milk with foam into a special glass glass with a handle. Pour hot coffee slowly in a thin stream from above. Before adding coffee to the finished drink, it should be hotter than whipped milk, only then, due to the difference in temperature and density, it will rise and take place between milk and milk foam.
Step 7:
Sprinkle the finished drink with ground cinnamon on top and serve immediately. Bon appetit!
For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
It is important to understand how macchiato differs from regular cappuccino, because the ingredients in these two types of coffee are the same.
- The proportion of milk to coffee in cappuccino is 1:1, in macchiato: 2:1 + foam.
- Cappuccino is served in a regular coffee cup, and latte is served in a high transparent glass with a handle so that all three layers of coffee are clearly visible.
- Cooking procedure. In the case of cappuccino, ready-made coffee is first poured into the cup, then whipped milk (2 layers) on top. In the latte, as can be seen above in the recipe, first whipped milk is poured, then coffee, thanks to which 3 layers are formed.
- In cappuccino, the foam is dense, so a pinch of sugar is kept on the surface and does not fall into the drink. But in latte macchiato, the foam is lighter and more airy. Only ground cinnamon is retained on the surface.
