Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (or espresso)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it is hot but not boiling. Alternatively, you can microwave the milk for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid boiling over.
Step 2
2. Use a whisk, handheld milk frother, or tightly seal the milk in a jar and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds to create a frothy texture. The milk should double in volume and develop foam at the top.
Step 3
3. Brew strong coffee (or espresso) using your preferred method (e.g., French press, pour-over, or instant espresso powder). Make sure the coffee is hot.
Step 4
4. Pour the hot brewed coffee into a mug.
Step 5
5. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once most of the milk is poured, spoon the milk foam onto the top of the drink.
Step 6
6. Optional: Add sugar to taste, if desired. Sprinkle cocoa powder or ground cinnamon over the foam for garnish.
Step 7
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade cappuccino!
