In simple terms, Americano is nothing more than espresso combined with water.
Making a real Americano at home is not difficult at all. Here's what you'll need:
- 60 ml filtered water (the volume of water can be adjusted independently);
- 2 teaspoons ground Arabica;
- sugar – to taste.
Pour Arabica into a heated Turk, then add water and stir.
Place the pan on medium heat, but don’t go too far – after a while, foam will form on the surface of the future drink.
This foam should be stirred and the coffee preparation should be continued. The "operation" should be repeated twice more.
Your task is to prevent the drink from boiling. Wait until thick foam forms, then turn off the heat.
Remove the Turk from the stove, move it to another place, then pour hot water into a pre-heated cup - enough to leave room for the espresso.
All that remains is to pour the coffee from the Turk into a cup, add the required amount of sugar, and you can enjoy the aromatic drink.
