Ingredients
- 1 shot Espresso coffee
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 packet Stevia or your preferred heart-healthy sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Sliced almonds (for garnish)
Instructions
Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop device.
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium-low heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add almond extract, ground cinnamon, and stevia. Stir well to combine.
Use a milk frother or hand-held frothing wand to froth the almond milk mixture until it reaches a rich, creamy froth.
Pour the brewed espresso into a large coffee cup or mug.
Slowly pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon, then top the cup with the reserved foam.
Garnish with sliced almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-friendly almond cappuccino.
