Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. The quality of the espresso is crucial as it forms the base of the cappuccino.
- As the espresso brews, heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. This is crucial to maintain the natural sweetness of the milk.
- Froth the heated milk using a milk frother until it is creamy and has a dense layer of foam on top.
- Pour the brewed espresso shots into two large cups. Add a teaspoon of sugar to each cup and stir until completely dissolved. This enhances the deep, rich flavor of the espresso.
- Gently pour the frothed milk into the cups, using a spoon to hold back the foam. The milk should blend harmoniously with the espresso, creating a rich, creamy texture.
- Spoon the remaining foam on top of each cappuccino, creating a luxurious cap.
- Serve the cappuccinos immediately with the fresh cornetto pastries on the side. The flaky, sweet cornetto complements the robust cappuccino beautifully.
Tips
- For the best results, use freshly ground espresso beans for brewing.
- The cornetto can be filled with cream, jam, or even chocolate for a twist.
