Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Brewed espresso
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until warm, but do not let it boil.
Use a milk frother or immersion blender to froth the milk by aerating it until it doubles in volume and becomes creamy.
If using sugar, stir 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar into the brewed espresso while it’s still hot, and mix well until dissolved.
Pour the brewed espresso into a coffee cup or mug.
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to settle on top for a layered appearance.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch (about 1/4 teaspoon) of ground cinnamon or cocoa powder over the foam for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Better Homes Cappuccino!
