Making a breve at home is straightforward. Heat and foam half-and-half, combine it with a shot or two of espresso, and you'll have a rich, creamy beverage. Keep reading for our guided steps to making the perfect breve.
Froth the half-and-half. Microwave it for one minute and then whisk until you get a good froth. Or you can use a milk steamer at 145 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pull your espresso shots using an espresso machine, portable espresso maker, or stovetop Moka pot.
Add the espresso to your coffee mug. Then, slowly pour in the warmed half-and-half. Spoon the foam on top.
To add extra flair, sprinkle the top with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or any other topping that you like.
Notes
If you don't have an espresso maker, you can substitute strong coffee brewed using your favorite method.
