FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetened condensed milk?
Regular sugar won’t provide the same creamy texture and depth of sweetness. Sweetened condensed milk also adds a rich mouthfeel that sugar alone can’t replicate.
What kind of espresso should I use?
Freshly brewed espresso shots work best for authentic flavor. Use your preferred espresso roast or a strong coffee concentrate if you don’t have an espresso machine.
