Instructions

Step 1: Infuse the Milk with Cinnamon

1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat, ensuring it does not boil.

4. Remove the cinnamon stick or sachet before frothing the milk.

Step 2: Brew the Espresso

1. Prepare a shot of espresso using an espresso machine, moka pot, or Aeropress.

• If you don’t have an espresso maker, substitute with 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee.

Step 3: Froth the Milk

1. Use a milk frother, immersion blender, or whisk to froth the infused milk until it becomes creamy and forms a thick foam layer.

Step 4: Assemble the Cappuccino

1. Pour the brewed espresso into a mug.

2. Slowly pour the frothed cinnamon-infused milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon.

3. Spoon the foam on top to create the signature cappuccino layer.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

1. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for added flavor and visual appeal.

2. Add a drizzle of honey or vanilla syrup for sweetness, if desired.

3. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Pro Tips

• For a Stronger Cinnamon Flavor: Use freshly grated cinnamon as a garnish or infuse the milk with two cinnamon sachets for a bolder taste.

• Non-Dairy Alternatives: Almond and oat milk froth well and add a nutty or creamy flavor that complements the cinnamon.

• Spiced Variations: Add a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, or cloves to the milk while infusing for a chai-inspired twist.
