Posted on by The Olive Oil Hunter

Stronger in coffee flavor than a latte, cappuccino is great for an afternoon refresh or with dessert (switch to decaf if caffeine keeps you up at night).

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces or shots of espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 Master Foam recipe 
  • Cinnamon to taste (optional)

Directions

Pour the coffee into a low cup and top with Master Foam. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon.

Luscious Latte

Posted on by The Olive Oil Hunter

If you like a little coffee in your milk (rather than a little milk in your coffee), this one’s for you.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces or shots of espresso or strong coffee
  • Sweetener as desired
  • 6 ounces hot milk
  • 1 Master Foam recipe 
  • Cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa to taste (optional)

Directions

Pour the coffee into a 12-ounce cup and whisk in any sweetener. Add the hot milk and whisk lightly. Top with the Master Foam. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa.

Variation: For a mochaccino-style drink, whisk 2 tablespoons of natural cocoa powder into a small amount of the hot milk; when incorporated, add it along with the rest of the milk to the coffee and proceed with the rest of the directions.  

Yields 1 serving

Master Foam Recipe

Posted on by The Olive Oil Hunter

It’s a given that anytime you reach for olive oil rather than cream for your coffee, you’re replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat brimming with polyphenols. With my Master Foam, you’re also getting a richness that deeply satisfies. Once you taste the full-bodied creaminess of frothed milk and EVOO, you may never go back to what you used before. As you experiment, start with a mild olive oil before trying a medium or bold one.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 11 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Emulsify the milk and oil with your preferred frothing tool until thick and nearly double in volume. It’s ready to pour right over your favorite hot or iced coffee in a cup or heatproof glass—perfect for seeing all the layers.
