Cappuccino as we all know is consists of an espresso, on which the the hot foamed milk is being poured, resulting in a thick milk foam on top. Well like many of you I too am a big fan of cappuccino, but the only thing is I make very bad coffee. So I never tried to experiment this at home. Moreover I have been thinking that as it is I don't have a coffee brewing machine so this is like a big no-no for me. During the day after I send my husband & daughter to office & school, I start my routine work at home and once I finish doing all I make a nice cup of tea. Today when I was entering the kitchen for making my tea , I saw the coffee packet lying in the cupboard. And I suddenly thought of cappuccino somehow. I started searching in net if I can make it without any machine and espresso. And yes it is possible and that too super easy to make with instant coffee. So I checked the process and without wasting much time I started making this. Trust me a real fun it was. And the result .. that you can see in the pictures. Do try this at your home. Now I am waiting for PB to come home so that I can make one for him :)
I referred this :

Ingredients:
These measurements are for 1 cup only.
Instant coffee: 1/2 tsp
Sugar:1 heaped tsp (I like my coffee sweet, you can minimise the quantity)
Cocoa powder: less than 1/2 tsp (optional/ I just added it to see how the taste comes out)
Milk: 1 cup (use full fat milk to get a better result)
Some more Cocoa powder : for dusting on the cappuccino
Process:
Warm the milk in a saucepan.
In your coffee mug , take the coffee powder, cocoa powder, sugar. Add approx. a tablespoon of warm water and mix them well
Now take the hot milk in a mug and whip the milk with the help of a whisk keeping it in between the palms of your hand and whip it continuously till you get the desired thick froth.
Swirl the mug in a circle to condense the foam together. Repeat the process until the foam looks nice and creamy.
Finally pour the milk into the coffee in the other mug. Allow the foam to come out by shaking your wrist side to side while pouring the milk. Or you can use a spoon to take out the foam and place it on the top of the coffee. Dust some cocoa powder on it. You can actually sprinkle some choco chip as well if you want. I just forgot to try it this time whereas I had a full packet of choco chip at home :( .
Gonna do it for his cuppa.
And your instant cappuccino with instant coffee is ready to be served. Enjoy !!
