Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 shots Espresso
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream
- 1 sprig Optional mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by making the raspberry syrup: In a small bowl, mash 6 fresh raspberries with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar using a fork until it forms a smooth purée. Set aside.
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. If you don't have espresso, substitute with 1/3 cup of strong brewed coffee per serving.
In a small saucepan, heat 3 cups of whole milk over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir in 0.25 teaspoons of vanilla extract and whisk vigorously to create froth, or use a handheld frother for best results.
Divide the raspberry mixture evenly between two serving mugs. Carefully pour 1 shot of espresso (or equivalent brewed coffee) into each mug over the raspberry mixture.
Pour the frothed milk into each mug, filling them almost to the top. Use a spoon to hold back the foam, then add the foam on top of the cappuccino.
Garnish each mug with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream. For an elegant touch, sprinkle 0.25 teaspoons of cocoa powder on top and add a sprig of mint if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, fruity Raspberry Cappuccino!
