Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso or prepare 1/2 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the vanilla extract and granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
Using a milk frother, handheld whisk, or immersion blender, froth the milk mixture until you achieve a creamy foam layer.
Pour the prepared espresso or coffee into a large cappuccino cup.
Slowly pour the frothed milk mixture over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the liquid milk to mix with the coffee.
Spoon the remaining foam on top of the cappuccino to create a frothy finish.
If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade French Vanilla Cappuccino!
