Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 shots Espresso
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso using your preferred method and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the milk is hot, whisk in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
Use a milk frother or an immersion blender to froth the spiced milk until it is creamy and foamy.
Pour the brewed espresso into a cappuccino cup or mug.
Slowly pour the spiced, frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the milk to mix with the coffee. Then spoon the foam on top.
If desired, garnish with whipped cream and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Spiced Cappuccino!
