Instructions
- Fill the moka pot base with hot water up to the valve. Add the coffee to the basket and level it without pressing.
- Screw the pot together and set it over medium-low heat with the lid open.
- When the coffee starts to flow, watch it. Take it off the heat as soon as it turns pale and starts to sputter.
- Warm the milk with the honey and cinnamon until steaming, but not boiling. Stir until the honey dissolves.
- Froth the milk. In a French press, pump the plunger up and down for about 20 seconds.
- Pour the coffee into a mug and top with the frothed milk. Dust with a little more cinnamon.
Tip: starting with hot water in the base shortens the time the coffee sits on the heat, which helps it taste less bitter.
