Instructions

  3. Step 3: Garnish with 3 coffee beans and serve immediately.

Notes

For a pronounced foamy layer, use espresso from a coffee machine that produces crema. Instant coffee or French press coffee won't give the same result. If you don't have a coffee machine, add 1/2 egg white before shaking to create foam.

An alternative coffee liqueur can replace Kahlua.
