Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso approximately 2 oz - Provides the robust coffee base
  • 6-8 oz hot water - Dilutes the espresso to your preferred strength
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream 30-45ml - Creates luxurious creaminess and adds healthy fats
  • Optional sweetener: 2-3 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit extract - Adds sweetness without carbs
  • Optional garnish: A pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder - For aromatic finish

Instructions
 

  • First, brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or make 2 ounces of very strong coffee using your preferred method. While your espresso is brewing, heat 6-8 ounces of water in a kettle until it's hot but not boiling - about 30 seconds after you see steam is perfect.
  • Next, pour the hot water into your coffee mug, then slowly add your freshly brewed espresso. The slower you pour, the more you'll preserve the rich coffee flavor and create a beautiful layered effect.
  • Now comes the best part - add 2-3 tablespoons of cold heavy cream by pouring it gently along the inside edge of your mug. This creates those gorgeous cream swirls that make this drink so special. If you like your coffee sweet, this is when you'd add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
  • Finally, give your drink a light stir just to blend the flavors while keeping some of the beautiful cream patterns visible. For an extra touch, sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top if you'd like.
  • Enjoy your creamy keto-friendly Americano right away while it's fresh and hot. This simple drink takes just 5 minutes to make but feels like a luxurious treat that keeps you in ketosis all day long.
