CAPPUCCINO
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 serving of espresso or strong coffee
- 6 ounces of milk
- Sugar to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- Brew a really strong cup of coffee or espresso.
- Pour 6 ounces cold milk in milk frother and froth until rich and velvety. Or, heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave until steaming, and beat it with a whisk. You want to get tiny bubbles
- Slowly add the hot milk to your coffee and lay the frothed floating on top.
- Traditionally, it will be equal parts coffee, milk and froth.
CON PANNA
INGREDIENTS:
- 1-2 servings of hot espresso, based on preference of strength
- 2 Tbs of Whipped Cream, sweetened or unsweetened, depending on taste
DIRECTIONS:
- A traditional Con Panna is served in a demitasse cup but any small glass or cup will do.
- Float whipped cream on top of a freshly brewed espresso and enjoy!
AMERICANO
INGREDIENTS:
- 1-2 servings of hot espresso, based on preference of strength
- Hot water
DIRECTIONS:
- In a cup filled 2/3 of the way with hot water, steadily pour in a single or double espresso.
- By pouring the espresso on top of the hot water, the heat from the water will not scorch the freshly brewed espresso - letting it retain the crema for a foamier, creamier feeling drink.
MOCHA
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 shot freshly brewed espresso
- 6 ounces of milk
- 1 ounce cocoa powder or 1 capsule Barrie House Hot Cocoa
- Sugar to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- Brew a really strong cup of coffee or espresso.
- Pour 6 ounces cold milk in milk frother and froth until rich and velvety. Or, heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave until steaming, and beat it with a whisk. You want to get tiny bubbles
- Use a spoon to retain the microbubbles on top of the steamed milk and pour the bottom 2/3 of the steamed milk into the cup.
- Top the latte with the remaining bubbles by gently pouring or spooning them on top of the steamed milk.
