Cappuchino - My favorite cuppa

Say Coffee and you've got my attention. Say Cappuchino and you'll see me walking around with that dazed look in my eyes. That's how much I love cappuchino - strong coffee, with a hint of milk and sweetness and all that foam - Oh! I'm in heaven. See this picture -
 

Look at all that creamy foam? This is my very own cappuchino made at home - no fancy coffee machines needed, no decoction, filtering, nothing. Coffee, sugar, milk and a bit of elbow grease makes the most amazing cappuchino! Right here! In your house!

Here's how to make some:
Full Fat Milk - 1 cup, warmed (on the stove or microwave)
Instant Coffee Powder - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1.5 tsp (use 1 tsp, if you don't like too much sugar)
Water - 1 tsp (make sure the water is not warm or hot, it should be room temperature)

Method:
1. Throw in the coffee powder, sugar and the water in a cup.


2. Using a spoon, mix, mix, mix, mix till mixture goes from dark brown to light brown with light airy bubbles and loads of froth. It takes about 3-4 minutes of continuous mixing. (It looks a bit dark in this picture, probably because it's gloomy today.) The lighter it is, the better the end result.

3. Once the coffee paste is ready, gently pour in the warm milk. And that's it! Take a look:

Light, creamy, frothy cappuchino is ready and awaiting your pleasure. Even my kids love this and will drink a whole cup of it. Really, you got to try it to experience it! Ahh....
