Servings: 2

Ingredients

Cocoa powder
1 teaspoon for garnish
Whipped cream
2 dollops
Honey
2 teaspoons (optional)
Ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Milk
2 cups
Espresso
2 shots

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso and set aside. We recommend using a dark roast for a robust flavor.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling to avoid scalding.
  3. Add the ground cinnamon and cardamom to the hot milk, stirring well to ensure the spices are fully incorporated.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk the milk vigorously until a frothy consistency is achieved. If you have a frother at home, you can use it for this step.
  5. Evenly distribute the brewed espresso between two cups. If desired, sweeten with honey to taste.
  6. Gently pour the spiced milk over the espresso in each cup, using a spoon to hold back the froth.
  7. Finish by spooning the froth onto the top of each cappuccino.
  8. Add a dollop of whipped cream to each cup for a touch of indulgence.
  9. Dust the top of each cappuccino with a sprinkle of cocoa powder for garnish.
  10. Serve immediately to enjoy the Sahara Sand Dune Cappuccino at its freshest and most flavorful!
