Equipment

  • 1 Espresso Maker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Shot Espresso
  • 120 ml Hot Water
  • 60 ml Milk

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Your Espresso Shot
    Prepare 1 shot (30 ml or 1 fl oz) of espresso for 1 cup (240 ml or 8 fl oz) of White Americano. You can prepare your espresso with an espresso machine, Nanopresso, or Nespresso machine. If you don’t have one of these, you may brew coffee with the intensity of espresso using a Moka pot or Aeropress.
  • Add Hot Water
    Add four times as much hot water to pour your espresso into a cup. You should use 120 ml (4 fl oz) of hot water for 1 shot of espresso.
  • Add Milk
    Add 1 or 2 times the amount of milk to the espresso you used in your cup. For 1 shot (30 ml or 1 fl oz) of espresso, add 30-60 ml (1-2 fl oz) of milk.
    Heat the milk directly on the stove or use your espresso machine’s steam wand. This way, you can get frothier milk.
    You can use any milk you enjoy drinking (whole, almond, soy, oat, etc.).

Notes

Quality Espresso Beans: Begin with high-quality espresso beans for a rich and flavorful base.
Freshly Ground Coffee: Grind your coffee beans just before brewing to preserve the freshness and intensity of the flavors.
Ratio Control: Adjust the ratio of espresso to hot water according to your taste preferences, finding the perfect balance for your White Americano.
Experiment with Sweeteners: Customize your White Americano with sweeteners like sugar, honey, or flavored syrups, adjusting to your preferred level of sweetness.
