Ingredients

1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup Café Bustelo^® Ground Espresso Coffee
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar
3 cups whole milk

Directions

Step 1
FILL stove-top or electric moka pot according to manufacturer's instructions using water and coffee. Reassemble moka pot. Begin to brew over medium heat.
Step 2
PLACE sugar in 2-cup liquid measuring cup or metal pitcher. As soon as espresso begins to brew, pour about 1/2 tablespoon espresso over the sugar. Return moka pot to the heat to finish brewing. (Remove from heat as soon as brewing is complete.)
Step 3
BEAT sugar and espresso vigorously with small spoon until mixture turns into a creamy, pale beige paste and most of the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
MICROWAVE milk in large microwave-safe bowl about 4 minutes, until very hot but not boiling. Beat with mixer on high speed 1 minute, or until a thick layer of foam forms on surface. Pour milk into 4 mugs, reserving foam.
Step 5
POUR brewed espresso gently over the creamed sugar. Stir gently. Pour over milk in mugs. Spoon foam on top. Serve immediately.
