This French vanilla cappuccino is rich and creamy with a hint of earthy coffee, sweet vanilla, foamy milk and warm nutmeg. Can be made traditionally or paleo, dairy-free and vegan.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces (1/4 cup) espresso freshly brewed
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch fresh ground nutmeg or about 1/16th teaspoon
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy

Instructions

  • Combine the espresso, brown sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg in a large mug. Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved.
    2 ounces (1/4 cup) espresso, 1 teaspoon light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, pinch fresh ground nutmeg
  • Heat the milk in the microwave or a small pot on the stove until it begins to steam. For dairy milk, heat to 139-149 °F (55-65 °C). For plant-based milk, heat to 150 °F (65 °C). Then froth the milk until it has a thick foam layer and has doubled in size.
    1/2 cup milk
  • Pour the steamed milk and foam over the espresso and enjoy. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.

Notes

  • For vegan, use plant-based milk.
