If you've been scrolling through Korean café Instagram lately, you've probably spotted Milk Brew making an appearance. Unlike a traditional latte, where espresso is mixed with milk, milk brew is made by infusing coffee directly into cold milk, creating a drink that's creamy, smooth, and rich with coffee flavor.
The method is simple- but it does take a little patience. Ground coffee is steeped in cold milk for 6–12 hours, then strained through a filter before serving. The result is a mellow, milk-forward coffee that many people compare to a coffee milk tea.
If you're looking for an easier way to enjoy the same cozy café vibes, we've got a shortcut.
With KimlyParc Craft Instant Espresso, you can skip the overnight steeping and filtering altogether. Because our espresso dissolves effortlessly, you can create a creamy Milk Brew-inspired drink in just a few simple steps.
