Cappuccino

Ingredients:

  • 1 – 1.25oz shot espresso or like amount of a strong coffee

  • About 12 oz hot milk

This drink gets its name from the Cappuchin monks who invented it, and has become a staple in neighborhood coffeehouses around the world. As with the espresso, this drink is difficult to make without a really good espresso machine equipped with a steaming wand. In its place you can heat milk on the stove (don’t let it boil), and then pour it gently into blender to whip for about a minute.

Fill 2 cups with 1/3 espresso, 1/3 hot milk, and 1/3 milk foam.

Many people enjoy this topped with powdered chocolate or cinnamon.

Cafe Au Lait
or Cafe latte, or Cafe con leche - It all translates to, “coffee with milk”.
Ingredients:

  • 2 Large espressos or 2 cups strong, fresh-brewed coffee

  • 2 cups milk

Instructions:
Brew 2 cups of very strong coffee, using your favorite brewing method. In the absence of an espresso machine, French press is acceptable, but use whichever method you prefer.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk to steaming, stirring constantly to prevent if from sticking to the pan. Be sure not to let it boil.
Pour coffee into mugs, until they’re about half-filled. Then add milk, filling them the rest of the way. Top with chocolate or cinnamon.
For the holidays, add cinnamon to the coffee grounds, and then brew as you normally would. This is a perfect way to warm your bones on cool winter days. Makes 2 large mugs.
