Easy Cappuccino
Ingredients:
– 1 shot of espresso
– 1/2 cup of milk
– Sugar (optional)
– Cocoa powder or cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Start by brewing a shot of espresso using your espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee as a substitute. Pour the espresso into a cappuccino cup or a mug.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Use a whisk to froth the milk by vigorously moving the whisk back and forth until the milk becomes frothy and doubles in volume. Be careful not to let the milk boil.
3. Once the milk is frothy, carefully pour it over the espresso in the cup. You can use a spoon to hold back the foam while pouring the warm milk. Leave some space at the top of the cup for the foam.
4. Spoon the milk foam on top of the cappuccino. You can use the back of the spoon to help guide and hold back the foam while pouring the liquid milk.
5. If desired, sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the foam for a decorative touch and an extra burst of flavor.
6. Taste your cappuccino and add sugar to sweeten, if desired. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
7. Enjoy your homemade cappuccino immediately while it’s warm and frothy. Pair it with your favorite pastry or sip it on its own for a cozy coffee break.
Making your own cappuccino at home is a simple and rewarding experience that allows you to customize your drink to suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a stronger espresso flavor, a sweeter drink, or a lighter foam, you have the flexibility to tailor your cappuccino just the way you like it. So, go ahead and treat yourself to a delicious Easy Cappuccino whenever the coffee craving strikes.
