Step-by-Step Guide: Making Brown Sugar Cinnamon Espresso with Nespresso
This recipe is straightforward and offers a sophisticated twist to your coffee routine. Let’s dive into the steps.
Step 1: Prepare Your Froth Milk Mixture
Measure out 6 ounces of milk of your choice. Add three pumps of brown sugar cinnamon syrup and a dash of cinnamon. For homemade syrup, mix water and brown sugar, boil, then cool. This mixture will add a creamy, flavorful touch to your espresso.
Step 2: Add Brown Sugar to Mason Jar
Now, take your mason jar. Add two tablespoons of dark brown sugar to it. This step ensures a richly sweet base for your espresso.
Step 3: Brew Espresso Directly into a Mason Jar
Choose two Nespresso capsules for brewing. Brew about three shots of espresso directly into the mason jar with brown sugar. This method infuses the espresso with sweetness right from the start.
Step 4: Froth the Milk
While your espresso brews focus on the milk mixture. Froth it until it’s creamy and light. Adjust the syrup quantity according to your taste. This frothy milk will add a luxurious texture to your drink.
Step 5: Dispose of the Used Capsule
After brewing, open up the espresso machine. Dispose of the used Nespresso capsule. Keeping your workspace clean and organized is key.
Step 6: Add Ice and Shake
It’s time to cool things down. Add ice to the mason jar with espresso. Shake for about 10-15 seconds. This creates a chilled, smooth espresso blend.
Step 7: Combine with Frothed Milk
Pour the frothed milk over a cup of ice. Then, add the contents of the mason jar. This includes the espresso mixed with brown sugar. The combination creates a perfect balance of flavors.
Step 8: Add Final Touches
For an extra flavor kick, garnish with cinnamon and a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the cold foam. These final touches elevate the drink’s taste and presentation.
