Ingredients
- 1 shot (about 1 ounce) Espresso
- 8 ounces Whole Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Cocoa Powder
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a single shot of espresso (approximately 1 ounce) using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Pour it into your cappuccino cup.
Step 2
Pour 8 ounces of whole milk into a stainless steel milk frothing pitcher. Make sure the milk is cold for the best results.
Step 3
Using the steam wand of your espresso machine, insert it just below the surface of the milk and turn it on to create a whirlpool effect. Allow air to incorporate into the milk for a few seconds to produce microfoam, then submerge the wand deeper into the milk to heat it evenly. Monitor the temperature; it should reach around 150°F (65°C).
Step 4
Tap the frothing pitcher lightly on the counter to break any large bubbles, then swirl the milk to keep it smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Gently pour the steamed milk into the espresso cup, aiming to create a harmonious blend of espresso, milk, and foam. Use the technique of tilting your cup to control layering, finishing with a thick layer of velvety foam on top.
Step 6
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder over the foam for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your barista-style cappuccino!
