Detailed instructions in 4 steps to make standard Italian Cappuchino
In order to have a standard cup of Cappuccino with Italian flavor, the Barista not only follows the trained recipe but also has to show creativity and ingenuity in creating decorative art on the coffee cup.
+ Ingredients
– 30ml Espresso coffee
– 100ml of low-fat, sugar-free fresh milk
– 2 teaspoons of white sugar
– Cocoa powder or cinnamon powder
– 1 porcelain cup with a capacity of about 200ml
+ How to do it
– Put fresh milk, sugar into the milk container, then heat the milk and create a smooth, thick milk foam.
– Heat the porcelain cup in the microwave or put it in a bowl of boiling water
– Pour coffee into a cup and then pour milk foam on top. Note that you should pour the milk slowly, evenly into the center of the cup until white milk foam emerges, then start shaking the milk to shape. In addition, the Barista can also use a combination of small toothpicks to create more complex and sophisticated shapes.
Sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon powder on top to complete the taste. A standard cup of Cappuccino coffee must give diners a deep and light coffee taste with the aroma of cream mixed with the fatty taste of milk.
Difference between Cappuccino and Latte
The same is made up of 3 basic ingredients: espresso, hot milk and milk foam, but cappuccino and latte are 2 separate drinks, serving the needs of 2 different customers, in terms of taste.
In fact, cappuccino and latte have differences, which are recognized through:
– The ratio of hot milk and milk foam: while the amount of hot milk and milk foam used to make cappuccino is usually the same, when making latte, the amount of hot milk is twice the amount of milk foam; Therefore, the finished product is a cappuccino that looks more “floating” than a latte
– How to make: cappuccino is made by mixing espresso with milk powder or cream, then latte, espresso mixed with milk at high pressure (made by machine)
– Serving cup: cup/cup serving cappuccino has a smaller capacity, thicker wall than cup/cup serving latte; Also, cappuccinos are made of ice or porcelain, which is heated before the coffee is poured in, while lattes are made of glass and do not need to be heated.
Notes when preparing – serving Cappuccino
Cappuccino is usually served hot,
– Cappuccino is served by iced or porcelain cups/cups, heated before pouring coffee by placing it in the microwave or soaking in a pot of boiling water to keep the drink hot for a long time.
– Cappuccino is drunk hot and not stirred to keep the decorative shape above the drink
– Usually taken in the morning, at the latest at 12 noon, not in the afternoon
– In case you want to add more sugar, choose a corner close to the rim of the glass so that it will affect the drawing as little as possible, then put the sugar in, gently stir the bottom with a spoon to dissolve the sugar.
