Breve Recipe

Author: Luxury Recipes
The breve is an American take on the classic latte. A twist on typical espressobased beverages, it replaces half the milk with half-and-half (ideally with about 15 percent fat content). Sweet and creamy, try it as an alternative to dessert.

Ingredients

• 1/2–3/4oz (16–20g) fine ground coffee
• 2fl oz (60ml) milk
• 2fl oz (60ml) half-and-half



Method

1. Warm the glasses or cups on top of your machine or by heating them with hot water, brew one shot/1fl oz (25ml) of espresso into each glass.
2. Mix the milk and cream and steam to about 140–150°F (60–65°C), or until the pitcher is just too hot to touch.
3. Pour the steamed milk and cream mixture over the espresso, allowing the crema and the thick foam to combine.



Tip

• Steaming with cream is a different experience. The sound while steaming a combination of milk and cream may be louder than when you steam pure milk, and will not result in as much foam.



Note

• Breve translates from italian into “brief” or “short.” the half-and-half helps to create a foamy, denser drink
