Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso and pour them into a pre-warmed coffee cup.

Froth Milk

  1. 2

    Froth Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and forms a thick foam.

Assemble Cappuccino

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once you have poured in the milk, spoon the foam on top of the espresso.
