Is it possible to make a delicious cappuccino without an espresso machine or a milk frother?

Some friends are particularly fascinated by the strong coffee flavor and exquisite coffee art in coffee shops. They always dream of being able to make beautiful patterns like baristas at home, create a style, post it on WeChat Moments, and attract countless envy. However, for friends who don’t drink coffee often, buying an espresso machine is basically idle and the utilization rate is not high. However, even if we don’t love coffee, we should know some knowledge about coffee and have a preliminary understanding of the types of coffee, so as not to be confused when we go to a coffee shop and don’t know what to order.

Usually, the most popular coffees ordered in coffee shops are lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, etc. These are all added with sugar and milk, which are more in line with the public's taste. After all, only a minority of people prefer American black coffee. However, all coffees are based on espresso. Italian espresso is a type of coffee with a strong taste. It was invented in Italy and is brewed in a short time and at high pressure. After the flavor of the coffee is concentrated, the taste is particularly strong. The supply is usually calculated in "shots". Espresso is often used as the basis for other flavored coffees, such as mocha, latte, macchiato, etc. Generally, few people drink espresso directly because it is too strong and bitter. American coffee is one espresso plus 2 parts of hot water, Caffè Latte is one espresso plus 1.5 parts of milk plus 0.5 parts of milk foam, and Cappuccino is one espresso plus 0.5 parts of milk plus 1.5 parts of milk foam. After drinking it, you can taste the sweetness of the milk foam, and then you can taste the bitterness and richness of the espresso. This is why cappuccino is so popular among young people.

If you love coffee but don't have a special espresso machine, can you make your favorite cappuccino at home? Here's how to make it. It's so cozy to make a cup of cappuccino at home in winter, drink coffee, eat snacks, and watch TV series. There's also a little trick here, so be sure to read it carefully.

Homemade cappuccino

raw material:

2 spoons of instant black coffee 2 spoons of boiling water 2 spoons of sugar 200ml of whole milk A little salt

practice:

1. Take two spoons of instant black coffee powder, add two spoons of boiling water, and stir with a stirring stick until dissolved

2. Take 200ml of milk and add two spoons of sugar.

3. Add a little salt. This is very important and a little trick. A little salt can highlight the sweetness of sugar, which most people don’t know. Then stir thoroughly until dissolved.

4. Heat the milk in the microwave for about half a minute, until it reaches 60-70 degrees. Note that you may not be able to control the heating time and temperature of the microwave for the first time, so be careful when taking the coffee to avoid long-term heating, which may cause the milk to splash out.

5. Take out the heated milk and beat it with a whisk for about 1 minute. A lot of milk foam will appear, and it will become more and more dense.

6. Pour the whipped milk foam into the espresso and sift some cocoa powder on the surface.

Enjoy it, the cappuccino made in this way tastes as good as Starbucks. It costs at least 20 yuan per cup in a coffee shop, but it only costs 3 yuan to make it yourself. The key is that you don’t have to go out. It is also very interesting to taste a homemade cappuccino at home on a snowy day. Sometimes life also needs a sense of ritual.

Tips:

Be sure to use whole milk, which has a higher fat content, otherwise you won’t be able to make milk foam.
