Step for step guide to latte macchiato:

  • Prepare some frothed milk (see How to froth milk) and an espresso.
  • Take a highball glass.
  • Pour the milk into the glass until it reaches the border, but spare some foam for later.
  • Slowly add the espresso (so it won't mix too much with the milk). It swims on the top of the liquid milk, but below the milk foam, which gives a three stripe look (white-brown-white). If the foam is thick enough, the glass shouldn't overflow. Looks nice, doesn't it?
  • Now cover the espresso stain with the remaining milk foam.
  • Serve with a long spoon, and no sugar.
