Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop coffee maker.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the unsweetened almond milk and heat until steaming. Do not bring it to a boil.
Whisk the almond milk vigorously or use a milk frother to create a frothy texture.
Add the almond extract and sugar to the almond milk and stir well to combine.
Pour the prepared espresso shots into a large mug.
Gently pour the frothy almond milk over the espresso shots, holding back the foam with a spoon to pour the liquid first, then topping with the foam.
Optionally, dust the top of the cappuccino with cocoa powder or ground cinnamon for garnish.
Finish with a sprinkle of sliced almonds on top for added texture and flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your almond cappuccino.
