Defibrillator, from above. Have a look at that lovely crema.
OPTIONAL
1. Rim the glass with honey. This was my favourite. Try to keep the dripping honey on the inside of the glass or you’ll have sticky fingers. Ugh.
2. Add a small or large dash of cream. Stir or float it on top.
3. Add a small or large dash of coconut cream. Stir or float it on top.
4. Add a small scoop of ice cream.
