Cappuccino

Cappuccino is a classic Italian coffee beverage that consists of equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. 

Ingredients:

1 shot of espresso (about 1 oz)

4 oz of steamed milk

2 oz of milk foam

Optional: cocoa powder or cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare a shot of espresso using an espresso machine.

Steam the milk using a milk steamer or frother until it reaches a creamy and velvety texture. The ideal temperature for steamed milk is around 150-160°F (65-70°C).

Pour the steamed milk into a coffee cup, holding back the foam with a spoon.

Add the shot of espresso to the cup of steamed milk.

Spoon the milk foam on top of the drink, creating a thick layer.

If desired, sprinkle a little cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for extra flavor and decoration.

Cappuccino is loved for its rich and creamy texture, balanced flavors, and beautiful presentation. It's perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with a sweet treat like biscotti or a pastry. Adjust the proportions of espresso, steamed milk, and foam according to your taste preferences, and experiment with different types of coffee beans for unique flavor profiles.
