What you need to make soy cappuccino
To make a soy cappuccino at home, you will need:
- Soy milk: preferably unsweetened, for better control of the flavour.
- Coffee: espresso or Americano, according to your preference.
- Sugar or sweetener (optional): you can choose brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Coffee maker with a milk frother or hand blender: essential for obtaining a soft foam.
- Large cup: to best enjoy your creation.
Procedure
- Make the coffee: Brew an espresso or a caffè lungo, as you prefer.
- Heat the soy milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over low heat, without boiling.
- Froth the milk: Use a milk frother or a hand blender until you obtain a soft, velvety foam.
- Pour into the cup: Pour the coffee and slowly add the frothed milk, creating a pleasant layering between the coffee and the foam.
- Customize: If desired, sprinkle with cocoa, cinnamon, or a little coffee powder for an extra touch.

- Flavoured cappuccino: Add a drop of vanilla extract or a few drops of caramel syrup.
- Spiced cappuccino: Cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom add an exotic touch to the drink.
