Gibraltar Coffee Recipe - A Unique Coffee Blend
There are only 3 steps to making a Gibraltar. Granted, they take skill to perfect. Pulling a perfect shot of espresso and steaming milk takes a little practice. Making beautiful latte art takes a lot of practice.
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso
- 1/4 cup steamed milk
Instructions
Make espresso
- Grind the espresso beans to a fine consistency and place them in the machine's portafilter.
- Tamp down the ground espresso (18-21 grams) using a tamper to compress it evenly.
- Place the portafilter in the espresso machine and start the brewing process.
- A double-shot espresso will typically take about 25-30 seconds to brew.
Steam milk
- Steam the milk until it reaches a temperature of between 150 F and 160 F. You'll want to use a thermometer if you have one.
- In the glass containing the espresso shot, slightly pour your milk using a wiggle motion. Feel the warmth of your coffee cup and enjoy rich sips of your homemade Gibraltar coffee.
- Decorate with latte art.
Notes
- Use a real espresso machine.
- Being a specialty coffee beverage, this recipe is best with light-medium roast coffee beans.
