What is an Americano?
Americano is a coffee drink prepared by diluting an espresso with hot water, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from traditionally brewed coffee. What gives an American its strength is the amount of water added and the number of shots of espresso added.
Ingredients:
- Espresso & hot water
How to Make:
- Have a latte mug, or coffee mug ready.
- Pull a 3oz (or more if you like your drink stronger) espresso shot into a separate glass.
- Pour about 3oz or so of hot water into the mug you plan to drink from.
- Pour the espresso shot into the mug.
