Ingredients
- 3
- lemons
- 1 cup
- sugar
- 250 mL
- ½ cup
- limoncello
- 125 mL
- 2 cups
- freshly brewed espresso
- 500 mL
- 4 cups
- milk
- 1 L
- ¼ tsp
- ground cinnamon
- 1 mL
Method
- Step 1
- Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel zest from lemons, avoiding the white pith (the pith is bitter). Combine lemon zest, sugar and 1 cup (250 mL) water in small saucepan; bring to a boil and cook about 5 min., until sugar dissolves and mixture is syrupy. Cool lemon syrup completely. Use immediately or cover and store (keeping lemon zest in mixture) in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
- Step 2
- To make drinks, add 1 tbsp (15 mL) each lemon syrup and limoncello into each of 8 cappuccino cups. Finely chop 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest (from syrup); reserve for garnish.
- Step 3
- Heat milk in saucepan set over medium heat about 5 min., until steaming. Use a milk frother or whisk to whip until frothy. Divide espresso among the 8 cups; top with frothed milk. Garnish with chopped lemon zest and pinch of cinnamon.
Tips
For alcohol-free cappuccino, omit limoncello and add an additional 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon syrup.
For 2 cups (500 mL) espresso, make in a large stove-top espresso maker with espresso powder. Or brew triple-strength drip coffee.
