Vanilla Bourbon Mint Cappuccino
The Mint Cappuccino is a refreshing twist on the classic Italian coffee drink that infuses the creamy, frothy goodness of a traditional cappuccino with a hint of cool mint. The recipe involves preparing a well-balanced espresso shot and frothing milk to creamy perfection. Fresh mint leaves or mint extract is added to either the milk before frothing or combined with the espresso. Once the coffee and mint mixture is ready, the milk is poured over the espresso, creating a delightful marbling effect. This beverage is a fabulous pick-me-up and can be garnished with chocolate shavings or an extra sprig of mint for a visually stunning and invigorating experience.

Instructions:
1. Begin by frothing your 4 oz of soy milk. You can either use a milk frother or warm the milk on the stovetop and then whip until frothy. Set aside once done.
2. Prepare your espresso machine. Insert a strong espresso pod into your Nespresso VirtuoLine machine or prepare a shot of strong espresso with your preferred method.
3. As the espresso is brewing, add the 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Bourbon Extract directly into the espresso cup. This will infuse the espresso with the rich flavor and aroma of vanilla and bourbon as it brews.
4. Once the espresso shot is ready, gently pour the frothed soy milk directly into the middle of the espresso. Pouring it in this manner helps the hot milk create a layered effect, with froth on the top and milk settling at the bottom.
5. For the finishing touches, sprinkle a dusting of cocoa powder over your cappuccino. This adds a hint of chocolatey depth that complements the vanilla and espresso perfectly.
6. Lastly, embellish the drink with fresh mint leaves. Not only do they make your cappuccino visually stunning, but they also enhance the minty freshness in every sip.
7. Indulge in your homemade Vegan Vanilla Bourbon Mint Cappuccino, and savour the exquisite blend of flavors.
Cooking Tips:
- You can adjust the amount of Vanilla Bourbon Extract according to your taste preference.
- If you don't have a frother or espresso machine, simply heat the soy milk stovetop and use strong brewed coffee.
- Fresh mint is best for garnishing, but if unavailable, a mint extract can add a similar hint of flavor.
