Cappuccino with Steamed Milk

teas.co.uk · 8 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 Costa Creamy Cappuccino sachet (17g)
• 100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil, then cooled to about 90C (check with a thermometer)
• 150ml whole milk
• 1 teaspoon of dark cocoa powder, for the dust
• 1 chocolate covered coffee bean, for the rim (optional)

Method

1. Hot water in the cappuccino cup, then empty it.
2. Empty the sachet into the mug, add 100ml of hot water at around 90C and whisk for thirty seconds into a strong base.
3. Warm the milk in a small pan until it just steams, then froth it with a handheld frother to a wet, glossy foam.
4. Pour the milk over the back of a spoon so the foam settles on top of the coffee.
5. Dust the foam with cocoa through a sieve and, if you like, balance a chocolate covered coffee bean on the rim.
6. Froth the milk to a loose, glossy foam rather than stiff peaks; it folds into the cup far better.
