Instructions:
Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can brew a strong cup of coffee using Sophie's Mart's premium ground coffee.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
While the milk is heating, you can prepare your espresso cup or mug by preheating it with hot water. This step helps maintain the temperature of your cappuccino.
If desired, add a teaspoon of granulated sugar to the hot milk and stir until dissolved. This step is optional and can be adjusted according to your preference for sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and froth the milk using a handheld frother or by vigorously whisking it in a separate container until it becomes creamy and velvety in texture. Aim for a thick layer of foam on top.
Discard the hot water from your espresso cup or mug and pour in the freshly brewed espresso.
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect. Gradually tilt the saucepan to allow the milk to flow gently.
Spoon the remaining foam on top of the cappuccino, creating a beautiful crown of froth.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
Take a moment to admire your homemade cappuccino before indulging in its delightful flavors.
