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 left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
• 150ml whole milk
• 1 teaspoon of dark cocoa powder, for the dust
• 1 chocolate covered coffee bean, for the rim (optional)
• 1 warmed 350ml mug
• 1 small saucepan
• 1 small balloon whisk
• 1 small handheld milk frother

Method

1. Warm a mug with hot water and tip it out.
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.
