Cappuccino

Simmering the cinnamon in milk adds a more subtle, yet distinctive flavor to this drink than what’s achieved by just sprinkling cinnamon on top of the frothed milk.

Serves 10

Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk
• 2 (3-inch) sticks cinnamon
• 8 cups hot coffee or espresso

1. Add the milk and cinnamon sticks to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours; keep the milk on the warm setting until ready to serve.
2. Remove the cinnamon sticks. Add the coffee to the slow cooker. Use an immersion blender to add froth to the drink. Ladle into mugs. Repeat using the immersion blender, if necessary, to create more froth between ladling out the servings.

Frothy Milk

If you prefer, you can skip adding the coffee or espresso to the slow cooker. Instead, use an immersion blender to froth the milk in the slow cooker, repeating as necessary as you top individual servings of the coffee or espresso with frothed milk ladled into the drinks according to taste. This method works better if you or another guest’s preference is to sweeten the drink; stir in the sugar or sweetener to taste, and then top with the froth.
