Simple and delicious recipe for a Cinnamon Almond Cappuccino:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional for extra almond flavor)
- Sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
- Ground cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions:
- Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing a shot of espresso or half a cup of strong coffee.
- Heat the Almond Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until warm, but do not let it boil.
- Add Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon and almond extract (if using) into the warmed almond milk.
