Steps
Add a small amount of honey (approximately 1 teaspoon) and a small pinch of ground cinnamon to the bottom of a small glass.
Pull a double shot of espresso directly over the honey and cinnamon. The heat from the espresso will melt the honey and help the cinnamon flavor bloom and integrate.
Give the espresso, honey, and cinnamon mixture a quick stir to ensure the flavors are fully blended and not sitting at the bottom.
Steam approximately 2 to 3 ounces of milk until it is hot and has a light micro-foam, similar to the texture used for a latte but with less volume.
Pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture. A cortado typically uses a 1:1 ratio of espresso to milk.
Finish the drink by dusting a little extra cinnamon on top for garnish.
Notes
A traditional cortado is roughly equal parts espresso and steamed milk (about 2 oz each). This drink is meant to be stronger than a latte, allowing the espresso to remain the primary flavor profile.
