Keto Cortado

If you are a coffee snob and love preparing some at home, then you must give this Keto cortado recipe a try. Cortado is a Spanish beverage made of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of hot milk or in a ratio of 1:2 to give an exceptional taste with reduced acidity. It often contains little to no foam, so discard the foam before pouring the milk over your espresso. It is an easy Keto coffee recipe that can be prepared quickly in the comfort of your own home.

Is whole milk Keto?

A 1-cup serving of whole milk contains 12g of net carbs, making it unsuitable for a Keto diet. However, this recipe uses ¼ cup (2 oz.), adding just 3g of net carbs to your coffee. For a lower-carb option, you can use half and half instead.

How to steam milk at home?

An essential step when making cortado is steaming the milk. We know that a milk steamer is not available in every household; here are a couple of easy methods to steam milk for your Keto coffee without a steamer:

• The Jar method: First, add the milk to a jar and warm it up in the microwave for 30 seconds. Secure the lid, and shake for a minute until it doubles in volume. • Using a French press: Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave until it is warm but not too hot to touch. Pour it into a French press and pump the plunger handle up and down until the milk is foamy. • **Using a frothing wand:**Just like with any other method, heat the milk in a microwave or on the stove. Pour it into a large glass and use a frothing wand to get the milk foamy.
