Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 shots Espresso
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
Brew 4 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop moka pot. Divide the shots evenly between two cappuccino cups (2 shots per cup).
Pour the whole milk into a small saucepan or milk frother and heat it until it reaches a temperature of 150–160°F (65–70°C). Do not let it boil.
Use a milk frother or steam wand to create frothy milk. Make sure to achieve a creamy texture with small, uniform bubbles.
If desired, stir 1 teaspoon of sugar into each cup of espresso and mix well.
Gently pour the steamed milk into each cup, letting the milk naturally mix with the espresso and forming a layer of velvety foam on top.
Optionally, garnish the foam with a light dusting of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon for additional flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade cappuccino!
