- Marocchino
-
Marocchino (Cafè Marocchino) is a coffee drink created in Turin, Italy.[1] It is served in a small glass and consists of a shot of espresso (ristretto), cocoa powder and milk froth. The name Marocchino is derived from its colour, as marocchino was a type of light brown leather used in the 1930s to make hair bands.
Preparation
The method of preparing Marocchino from bar to bar and from barista to barista, each claiming to be the original. The glass cup is first dusted with cocoa powder, then it is topped up with milk froth and espresso (not necessarily in that order). After a final dusting of cocoa the Marocchino is ready to be served.
