The origin of cappuccino

The monks of the Capuchin Church, founded after 1525, wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the Capuchin Church was introduced to Italy, the local people thought that the clothes of monks were very special, so they gave them the name Cappuccino, which means loose robes and small pointed hats worn by monks in Italian. It comes from the Italian "turban" or Cappuccio.

However, Lao Yi loves coffee and finds that when espresso, milk and milk foam are mixed, the color is like the dark brown Taoist robe worn by monks, so he has an inspiration and gives milk coffee and pointed milk foam drinks, named Cappuccino. The word was first used in English in 1948, when a San Francisco newspaper first introduced cappuccino, and it was not until 1990 that it became a familiar coffee drink. It should be said that the word Cappuccino coffee comes from the Franciscan church (Capuchin) and the Italian head scarf (Cappucio). The original coined word Cappuccino believed that the monk's robe would eventually become a coffee drink name.

Cappuccino is also associated with a monkey name.

This isn't over yet. There is a small African monkey with a tuft of black conical hair on the top of its head, much like the small pointed hat on the robe of St. Francis Church. This little monkey was named Capuchin, which was first used by the British in 1785. Capuchin hundreds of years later? The names of coffee drinks and monkeys have always been interesting anecdotes for literary scholars.

Cappuccino making:

Cappuccino is made by adding a thick layer of frothed milk to an espresso. Espresso quality doesn't show up well with milk and foam, but it's still an important factor in determining cappuccino taste. Pour partially defatted milk into a jug, then use a frother to foam, rinse, and allow the milk to be as uniform as whipped cream without burning. Cappuccino cups should be warm or the milk bubbles will break apart. These cups can be placed on top of the coffee machine to keep warm. Pour milk and foam on top of espresso coffee and naturally form a layer, just like wrapping the coffee underneath. Note that pour the brewed Italian coffee about five minutes full and the frothed hot milk about eight minutes full. Finally, sprinkle a little finely diced cinnamon powder or chocolate powder as you like. The rest of the milk can also be poured in, and a delicious cappuccino is made.

A traditional cappuccino is one-third espresso, one-third steam milk and one-third frothy milk. Cappuccino? Latte coffee is actually a variation of Italian coffee (Italians are indeed fickle), but the ratio of coffee, milk and foam is slightly changed to 1:2:1.
