Equipment

  • Espresso Machine
  • A saucepan
  • A milk frother or blender
  • Coffee mug

Ingredients

  • Dark roasted espresso powder
  • Favorite Milk (2% milk preferred)
  • Brown sugar
  • French Vanilla flavoring or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, bring your milk to a boil whilst stirring constantly. If you are using vanilla extract, you can add ½ teaspoon to the saucepan.
  • Once the milk and vanilla have been heated, turn off the stove. Add brown sugar to taste and stir until dissolved.
  • Now use your milk frother to make the milk frothy. It will take about 2-3 minutes for the foam to develop.
  • Separate the light fluffy foam using a spoon from the rest of the milk.
  • Now brew 2 shots of espresso.
  • If you are using the French Vanilla syrup, then you can drizzle that into your coffee mug now.
  • Pour the espresso into the mug
  • Add the steamed milk and give it a stir.
  • Now scoop up the separated foam and add it to your cappuccino.

Notes

  • You can also pull an espresso shot with a Nespresso or a French Press.
