Cappuccino Coffee
Ingredients: 25-30 g of good quality natural coffee (with caffeine) 50 ml of milk (indicative) flavors (special and optional syrups) sugar (optional)
To prepare a delicious coffee with frothed milk, the first step involves using a special espresso coffee machine. Start by grinding fresh coffee beans, choosing a blend that satisfies your taste. Once the coffee is ground, add it to the machine's portafilter and make sure it is well compacted. Then, secure the portafilter in the machine and turn it on. After a few moments, the coffee will flow quickly, and the intense aroma will fill the room. Once you have obtained about 30-40 ml of espresso, let it cool slightly while you take care of the milk.
In parallel, take a small pot or a larger cup and pour in the desired milk. You can use whole milk for a creamy texture or skim milk for a lighter option. Choose the amount of milk according to your preferences. Once you have placed the milk in the pot, set the machine to the frothing or steaming program. Wait a few moments until the machine reaches the optimal temperature. Then, insert the steam wand into the milk and start moving it vertically, making upward and downward movements. This method will not only heat the milk evenly but will also incorporate air, creating a fine and dense foam on the surface.
After you have obtained a rich foam, set the pot aside and return to your coffee. Take a glass and pour in the previously prepared espresso. If you wish, you can add a few drops of flavored syrup to enhance the taste. Add sugar to taste, stirring it well with a teaspoon until it is completely dissolved. Now, it's time to bring the milk into the glass. Using a teaspoon, stop the flow of foam and slowly pour the milk over the coffee, so as not to disturb the beautiful appearance of the drink. Finally, use the teaspoon to add the foam on top, creating a generous and fluffy layer.
For an extra touch of elegance, you can decorate with cocoa powder, cinnamon, or even grated chocolate. This frothed milk coffee is not just a drink, but a sensory experience. Savor every sip and enjoy your moment of relaxation. Enjoy your meal!
