Beverage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can also use strong brewed coffee as an alternative.

  2. 2

    Heat Water

    In a small saucepan or kettle, heat 30 ml of water until just below boiling. This will be used to mix with the espresso for a smoother taste.

  3. 3

    Mix Espresso and Water

    Combine the brewed espresso shots with the hot water in a cup. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Steam Milk

    Use a milk steamer or frother to steam 150 ml of milk until it reaches a creamy texture, making sure to avoid boiling it.

  5. 5

    Create Milk Foam

    Using the same steamer or frother, froth an additional 50 ml of milk until it becomes light and airy, creating a thick foam.

  6. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture, allowing it to blend together, then spoon the milk foam on top.

  7. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for garnish. You can also add sugar to taste, stirring gently to dissolve.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve your cappuccino immediately while it’s hot, and enjoy your delicious beverage!
