The Best Cappuccino Recipe
We both love coffee! My favorite part of a day is when my sweetheart makes me a cup of a perfect cappuccino. He makes the best cappuccino, so this recipe is his masterpiece :). How to prepare the perfect cappuccino?
The secret is in a good coffee machine, high-quality coffee, and semi-skimmed milk. Our favorite coffee is Lavazza Crema & Gusto – it makes perfectly creamy espresso coffee and the best cappuccino!
Cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink prepared with milk cream. Italians love drinking it with breakfast. It’s their favorite coffee drink, as they like to say it’s their morning beverage accompanied by a croissant.
You can encounter the strong flavors in the top layer of the foam – it gives a special taste to a cappuccino. The best “toppings” for that layer are cinnamon, cocoa, or ginger. Our choice in most cases is cinnamon :).
Prep time: 2 min Cook time: 8-10 min Total: 10-12 min Servings: 1
INGREDIENTS
- 1 scoop coffee (use ground “crema” coffee )
- water
- about 4.06 fl oz (120ml) semi-skimmed milk (3.2%) (refrigerator temperature)
- pinch of cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
- For making this recipe you’ll need a coffee machine. Prepare the espresso coffee using your espresso machine.
- When done, prepare the milk: if you have a machine with nozzle you are lucky :), just put the nozzle into the milk (about 2 cm deep) turn on the steam knob and start steaming. Rotate the steam knob to adjust the amount of steam you are adding to the milk. The milk will start to increase its volume. Heat until the desired temperature.
- In the case your coffee machine doesn’t have a nozzle, use a simple milk frother, and just froth the milk until it forms the bubbles. The result is always the best when using a coffee machine.
- Add the milk to cappuccino cup with espresso coffee.
- Add a cinnamon on top, but that is optional. Since milk is naturally sweetened I’ve haven’t added any sugar.
- For the best results use coffee with “crema” words written on the package. It makes the best cappuccino!
- Enjoy your Cappuccino!
