How to Make French Vanilla Cappuccino

  1. Heat 1 cup (240ml) of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of vanilla extract to the milk.
  3. Warm the milk, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer (small bubbles appear around the edges).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (or to your desired sweetness).
  5. Use a hand frother or milk frother to froth the milk until it's light and fluffy.
  6. Fill a mug halfway with freshly brewed hot espresso or strong coffee.
  7. Gently pour the frothed milk over the coffee, leaving a little space at the top.
  8. Sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on top for a delightful finishing touch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
