Notes

  • Make sure to stir the powder into the hot water very well.
  • Add sugar or cream to sweeten or to lighten the flavor slightly.
  • Add more water if it is just too strong for you.
  • Some folks enjoy a small bit of hot chocolate powder added in (but then, it isn't really espresso anymore, but who is telling?).
  • Add more or less flavor by adding more or less mix.
