Ingredients
- 2 shots Freshly brewed espresso
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Brew two fresh shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Set aside once ready.
Step 2
In a small saucepan or a milk frother, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil. If using a frother, froth the milk until you achieve a creamy foam.
Step 3
Pour the Irish cream liqueur and granulated sugar into a large coffee mug. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Add the hot espresso shots to the mug and gently stir again to mix the flavors.
Step 5
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the froth with a spoon. Once the milk is poured in, spoon the creamy froth on top to create the cappuccino layer.
Step 6
For an extra touch, dust the top of the foam lightly with cocoa powder or ground cinnamon using a small sieve or shaker.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cappuccino with Irish Cream!
