Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 shots Freshly brewed espresso
- 1 ounce Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Grated dark chocolate (optional)
Instructions
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam but not boil.
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the hot milk until it becomes creamy and has a layer of foam on top. Set aside.
In a coffee cup or mug, mix the freshly brewed espresso with the Kahlua and ground cardamom. Stir well to combine.
Add the granulated sugar to the cup and stir until dissolved.
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the cup, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the cup is nearly full, spoon the milk foam on top to create the signature cappuccino layer.
Garnish with whipped cream, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and optionally, grated dark chocolate for extra richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Kahlua Cardamom Cappuccino!
