Artisanal Bolivian Cappuccino by Bolivianitade

Ingredients

• 30ml freshly brewed espresso
• 120ml whole milk
• 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/2 tsp sugar, optional
• as needed cocoa powder or cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions

1. Grind the coffee beans immediately before brewing to maximize aroma, then prepare one 30 ml shot of espresso.
2. Heat the milk in a small saucepan or steamer to approximately 60-65°C (140-150°F) without boiling.
3. Froth the milk using a wand or handheld frother until a dense, creamy foam forms.
4. Pour the espresso into a cup, then slowly pour the steamed milk over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon until the cup is nearly full.
5. Top the beverage with a spoonful of the remaining dense milk foam and garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired.
