upside down iced macchiato

medium

let me start by saying that i am not a barista nor have i any experience making anything at all! i simply do things with the little knowledge that i have! this simply worked for me and i am yet to give myself food poisoning <3



ingredients:
1/4 cup water
1-2 tps coffee of choice
milk of choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp sugar to taste

how to:
i started by boiling some water in my kettle and pouring just a little to my chosen glass so that the sugar (i used brown) and coffee (i used ground beans you'd get at a shop) can melt. you want to add at least two teaspoons of sugar into the water to make it denser than the milk, the more sugar, the heavier it'll be! add the vanilla extract to the water as well.

then i added 1/4 cold water before i got my milk and a spoon. this is the tricky part! grap your spoon and place it over the coffee so that you can SLOWLY pour your milk directly onto the BACK of the spoon. do this until you're satisfied with the amount of milk, or just fill the glass like me, then add your ice!

once you're done, take some cute pics and enjoy! i personally like to mix it all together and drink it like a latte but others like drinking it layer by layer.
