How to Make a Cappuccino without a Cappuccino Maker
It’s me again, the coffee addict. :) You all know very well how much I love my coffee. Well I’m back again to tell you how easy it is to make a cappuccino without one of those fancy schmancy cappuccino machines. :) I used to have one of those expensive machines, but while they’re really nice and easy to use, you really don’t need to spend the money.
For Christmas I received something called an Electric Frother. Ever hear of one? It’s pretty much my favorite toy…ever. When you combine this with your French Press, you have one amazing drink!
Ingredients:
- French Press
- Electric Frother
- Boiling Water
- Tumbler/Mug
- Dark Roast Ground Coffee
- Equal or other sweetener
- 1/4 c 2% milk
- flavored syrup (I prefer sugar free coconut)
Directions:
- Using my Electric Kettle, I boil about 8-10 oz of water.
- While the water is boiling, place about 2 scoops (2 tbsp) of coffee into the press.
- I also prepare my coffee cup by pouring in about 1 tbsp of flavored syrup (set aside).
- When the water is fully boiling, I turn off the kettle and add the water to my press.
- Do be careful when the water is going into the press because it does tend to splash slightly.
- With a plastic spoon (ONLY a plastic spoon) and stir up the grounds; remove the spoon, wipe it off, and sit spoon aside.
- Next, prepare your Electric Frother with about 1/4 c of 2% milk.
- Turn the Electric Frother on; when it’s done, gently press down on the press’ plunger.
- This will push the grounds to the bottom, straining your coffee.
- Slowly pour the coffee into your cup with the flavored syrup.
- Then remove the lid of the Electric Frother and gently pour the milk into your cup; be sure to scrap out all of the frothed milk with your plastic spoon you used earlier.
- Then take your spoon and gently mix your drink making sure to mix in the syrup that may be sitting on the bottom of your cup.
- ENJOY!! :)
