Method

  1. If you are using coffee concentrate, add enough hot water to make 4 cups of coffee.
  2. At the same time, heat the milk over a low to medium heat until scalded.
  3. Pour equal amounts of coffee and scalded milk into bowls or cups.

Notes

  • Steamed milk can be substituted for scalded milk.
  • The milk can be heated in the cups by half filling each cup with milk and microwaving briefly. A 1,000W microwave oven will heat one half-cup of milk in 50 seconds, two in 60 seconds.
