Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso coffee
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener of choice
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or prepare a strong coffee using your preferred brewing method.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of sugar or sweetener of choice to the milk, stirring to combine.
Heat the almond milk mixture until it is hot but not boiling, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Use a milk frother or an immersion blender to froth the heated almond milk until it becomes creamy and has a frothy top.
Pour the brewed espresso shots into a wide coffee mug.
Slowly pour the frothed almond milk over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the liquid milk to mix first.
Spoon the almond milk foam on top of the cappuccino.
Finish off by sprinkling 0.25 teaspoon of cinnamon on top for an added aromatic touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious dairy-free almond cappuccino.
