Cappuccino is not just coffee with milk. The milk for the cappuccino should be whipped in a hot thick foam, and it is in this huge milk cap that the charm of the drink lies. At home, making cappuccino foam is not so simple, but real.

Nowadays, there are no problems with making coffee at home. You can use the coffee machine, which has now divorced countless, or brew coffee in an ordinary Turk. Foam can also be created in several ways.

The first method is the easiest, but it requires a special whisk for the foam in the household. Yes, yes, there are such units in the modern market. Such a whisker looks like a small kettle with a whisk mounted on its lid. Pour cold milk into the fryer, close it with a lid, press the button, after a minute you will get a thick and stable foam. But remember, you need to pour cold milk exactly, because the whisk is turned off automatically when the temperature of the milk reaches the desired value. Warm milk heats up very quickly and does not have time to beat well.

The second method is intended for those who have a special coffeemaker with a cappuccino function. In such a coffee maker, there is usually a special nozzle, coming out of it under high pressure, the steam should whip the milk into foam. Turn on the coffee machine, pour half a glass of cold milk. Slightly tilt the glass and bring it to the nozzle nozzle. Turn on the steam and immerse the nozzle in milk. Be careful, careless handling of the machine may result in burns. When the milk is whipped, a small part of it will be drawn into the machine, so repeat the procedure by bringing a cup of water to the nozzle. So you can avoid the need to completely disassemble and clean the nozzle.

But what should you do if you don’t have any super-units, and you have only a simple cappuccino whisk on hand? If you try to whip them with ordinary room-temperature milk, then maybe you will even get foam, which immediately settles after pouring into coffee, and you simply cannot call such a drink “cappuccino”. But do not despair. Take milk of normal or high fat content. Capuchin monks generally used cream for a drink named after them. Pour milk into a metal mug to half the volume. Put the mug on the stove, wait 10-15 seconds, immerse the whisk in milk and begin to whip. Very quickly, the milk will turn into foam, which with a spoon can be transferred to coffee and get a real cappuccino.
Useful advice
If you do not have a whisk for whipping foam, you can replace it with a regular blender.
