Cappuccino Ingredients

Method

Cappuccino Directions

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew a single shot of espresso. Pour it into a warm cappuccino cup.

  2. 2

    Steam Milk

    In a separate container, steam the milk until it reaches about 150°F (65°C). Make sure to create a velvety texture with microfoam.

  3. 3

    Create Milk Foam

    Using a milk frother or the steam wand of your espresso machine, froth the milk until it doubles in volume and forms a thick layer of foam.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then, gently spoon the milk foam on top.

  5. 5

    Add Cocoa Powder

    Dust the top of the foam with cocoa powder for garnish.

  6. 6

    Sweeten (Optional)

    Add sugar to taste, stirring gently to mix.
