The cappuccino is a classic Italian coffee drink that has been around for centuries. The name comes from the Italian word for hood or cape, referring to the similarity between the color of the drink and the robes worn by monks. The first cappuccinos were made with espresso and milk, but over time different variations have emerged. Today, cappuccinos are typically made with espresso, steamed milk, and foam.
Cappuccinos were originally designed to be enjoyed in the morning, but they can be enjoyed any time of day. If you’re looking to make your own cappuccino at home, here’s what you need:
