Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Freshly brewed espresso
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew two fresh shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Set aside once ready.
In a small saucepan or a milk frother, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil. If using a frother, froth the milk until you achieve a creamy foam.
Pour the Irish cream liqueur and granulated sugar into a large coffee mug. Stir to combine.
Add the hot espresso shots to the mug and gently stir again to mix the flavors.
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the froth with a spoon. Once the milk is poured in, spoon the creamy froth on top to create the cappuccino layer.
For an extra touch, dust the top of the foam lightly with cocoa powder or ground cinnamon using a small sieve or shaker.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cappuccino with Irish Cream!
