Ingredients
- 240 ml Almond milk
- 60 ml Brewed espresso
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by brewing a fresh espresso shot using your preferred coffee machine or method. Set aside.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, almond extract, and maple syrup. Stir gently and heat until steam begins to rise from the milk, ensuring it does not reach a boil.
Step 3
Once heated, use a milk frother or blender to froth the almond milk mixture until it becomes creamy and foamy. If using a blender, pulse gently to avoid losing too much foam.
Step 4
Pour the brewed espresso into a coffee cup or mug.
Step 5
Slowly pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam initially, then gently scoop the foam on top.
Step 6
Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top for added warmth and flavor.
Step 7
Optionally, dust with a small amount of cocoa powder for a hint of chocolate.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy vegan almond cappuccino.
