Cappuccino Ingredients
Method
Cappuccino Preparation
Prepare Espresso
Brew one shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Pour the espresso into a cappuccino cup.
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 6 oz of milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. You can also use a milk frother or steam wand for this step.
Froth the Milk
Using a frother or steam wand, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and has a velvety texture. The milk should have a thick foam on top.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso. Allow the foam to sit on top, creating a layered effect.
Add Cocoa Powder
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam for garnish and added flavor. You can also add sugar to taste if desired.
