second recipe
A quiet rebellion, steeped in flavor. An elegant interplay of spice, citrus, and espresso. The recipe was developed by Lem Butler, longtime specialty coffee professional and 2016 U.S. Barista Champion.
Ingredients
  • 2shots espresso (split)
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 8g brown sugar (4 g per glass)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 Fresh orange peel
Instructions
  1. Place 4 g of brown sugar into each glass.
  2. Steam almond milk until silky and pour over the sugar. Allow the base to deepen into a rich brown layer beneath the pale, airy almond milk.
  3. Set a cinnamon stick in each glass, aligning them with the spouts of the portafilter.
  4. Pull the espresso shot so it flows down the cinnamon sticks, sliding beneath the almond milk and settling into a hidden layer of depth.
  5. Express the oils of fresh orange peel over the top, then rim the glass with its zest.
  6. Use the cinnamon sticks to stir and unite the layers; the more you stir, the warmer and spicier the flavor becomes.
