5th cup of coffee! Cappuccino!


Here is everything you will need! Hot brewed coffee, skim milk (and vanilla if you don't have skim milk), chocolate syrup, simple syrup, and a cute penguin cup. Okay any coffee cup will do!


Isn't the penguin cup cute though?
Just look at that cute little face!
I mean come on! I know you want a penguin cup!
Okay! Only one last photo of the penguin cup.
Done! 
Measure out about 4 ounces of milk into your carafe and put the carafe in the fridge until ready to use. You want that milk extra cold!
Now brew your espresso as usual. 4 shots is good for this cup. More or less depending on what you like. While it is brewing add about 2 Tbs of simple syrup to the bottom of your cup. More or less depending on how you like it. Then pour in your coffee.
Now froth your milk. Add a drop of vanilla if you don't have skim milk. Pour your steamed milk into your espresso holding back the froth.
Scoop the froth on top of your coffee.
Carefully make two circles on top with your chocolate syrup. Some of the syrup might sink into the coffee instead of staying on top. That is okay. Just put a little more in that spot.
Take any small stick like thing you can find (I use a meat thermometer) and drag it from the middle of the cup to the side five times. Wiping off your utensil between each drag.
Then, between each of your previous drags, drag the chocolate from the edge of the cup into the middle. Wipe off between drags. You should do this five times as well. 
When you are done it should look like that! Bam! A yummy, fancy, professional looking cappuccino!
