Homemade Cappuccino
A year ago I would have never thought of posting a cappuccino recipe. It was only natural to be able to go to a cafe and have a cappuccino with family or friends. Since we couldn't go out like before anymore, I started missing a good cappuccino, so I learned to make a delicious one at home. It's wonderful and it can be adapted to any taste - espresso or instant coffee, decaf, inka (my girls call it inkaccino). In the morning, you can make a regular cappuccino, with simple or vegetable milk and in the evening, a decaf.
Of course, with a proper coffee machine you can make a great milk foam but here I wanted you to see how to prepare cappuccino easily, without any special tools. Then you can sweeten it with whatever you like, I chose here brown sugar cubes.

Step by step
Step 1
For cappuccino, it is recommended a small cup, about 200ml capacity.
So pick the right cup.
Step 2
After that, prepare 50ml coffee with your favourite method - espresso, in a coffee pot, instant etc. I like it a bit stronger, so that I can properly feel its taste together with the milk.
Step 3
Cappuccino sweetened with brown sugar is very tasty. I like to use the cubes, they are easier to handle.
Sweeten your coffee as you wish.
Step 4
Now, because not everybody has got special equipment to foam the milk, I will show you how it's done in a simple way, only with a 700ml jar with lid.
Step 5
First, heat the milk. It shouldn't be boiling, just hot enough, about 60 degrees C. I usually microwave it for 1 minute.
Pour into the jar and tightly screw the lid on.
Step 6
Start to shake the jar carefully, making sure milk doesn't come out and splash.
Keep shaking the jar for about 1 minute.
Step 7
Now pour the coffee into the cup you are going to prepare the cappuccino.
Step 8
Start pouring in the milk from the jar, at first, it will be just milk, without the foam.
Step 9
Then comes the foam, make it look nice on top.
Step 10
Optionally, dust with cinnamon or cocoa powder over the top.
Serve and savour right away.
Enjoy!
