Cappuccino recipe

[Xarer]

Ingredients:


Freshly brewed espresso (1-2 shots)
1 cup of whole milk
Sugar (optional, to taste)
Equipment:


Espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker
Milk frother or steam wand
Coffee grinder
Coffee scale (optional)
Instructions:


Brew the Espresso:


Start by brewing 1-2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a strong cup of coffee as an alternative.
Froth the Milk:


Heat the milk in a saucepan or using the steam wand of your espresso machine until it's warm but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk until it has a creamy, velvety texture.
Ratio Matters:


A classic cappuccino has equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and frothed milk. Adjust the quantity based on your preferences, but a standard ratio is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk.
Assemble Your Cappuccino:


Pour the brewed espresso into your favorite cup.
Add the steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the froth with a spoon to maintain the ratio.
Spoon the frothed milk on top.
Optional: Garnish and Sweeten:


If desired, sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the froth for a decorative touch.
Add sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter cappuccino.
Enjoy:


Sip and savor your homemade cappuccino immediately while it's fresh and frothy.

Cool! Saved for myself. While I only have a stovetop espresso maker at the moment, I'm definitely intrigued to try out your recipe. Cappuccino is one of my favorite drinks, and I've been experimenting with different methods to recreate cafe-quality beverages at home. I've already tried to prepare some of the most popular drinks in the UK and I can't wait to give your recipe a go!
