- Cappuccino classical style
Cappuccino is everyone’s favourite coffee; you can make it easily at home.
Ingredients: All you need is milk, cinnamon stick, powdered coffee and cinnamon powder.
Recipe: Pour the milk in a saucepan and add a cinnamon stick and heat it until it comes to boil. Turn down the heat and let the milk simmer for ten minutes. Now add one and a half cup of lukewarm water in a cup and two teaspoons of coffee and sugar to taste. Mix it well. Now pour the hot milk and sprinkle some cinnamon powder over it, your cappuccino is ready. If you are getting late in the morning and you don’t have enough time to start from scratch, what you can do is ground the coffee on weekends and save it for using the whole week. You can even store prepared coffee and just add milk and sugar in the morning to make a nice coldbrew.
