Now, I'm sorry for the coarse language but sometimes the eff word is called for and this is one of those times. Just saying that this is the best cappuccino ever would not suffice. Because it was the FUCKING best cappuccino ever.
I also should mention right off the bat that this is not a Nigella recipe. This is pure Mrs K having a perfect Sunday morning. Let me just tell you I got an espresso machine for christmas and I have been in caffine heaven ever since. But today I reached Nirvana.
The secret to the perfect cappuccino is in the foam. And how do you get perfect foam??? SKIM MILK. That's it. It's just that simple. Skim Milk. This cappuccino took me from sunday morning dull state of mind. To utopic levels not felt since my last Johnny Depp dream. Actually you know what I think it was even better than a Johnny Depp dream. - Well wait a minute maybe not all my Johnny Depp dreams but my last Johnny Depp dream I was awoken before anything too good happened so yes it was better than my last Johnny Depp dream.
So, this specific cappuccino was made with Starbucks Bold -freshly ground - espresso beans. 2 shots of espresso and then topped with steamed and foamed Neilson skim milk. Then to make it official a dash of cinnamon. It was the foam that made it. Drinking that foam was like drinking a cloud ...no wait better. It was like drinking a Care Bear cloud.
I know this is a Nigella Express blog. But I just had to write about this cappuccino. Hopefully this was not a one off where the stars where alligned and I can re-create this every weekend. If so I think I just fell inlove with myself. I swear I could open a cafe in Paris with this shit.
