Bedtime Warm Milk

1-2 servings

–       8 oz. Milk

–       1 tsp. Vanilla extract

–       2 Tbs. White sugar

–       ¼ tsp. Ground nutmeg

Place the heating disk in your Capresso froth PRO and ensure it is securely snapped inside the bottom of the frothing pitcher. Add milk and vanilla extract to frothing pitcher, press the Warm button and place the lid. After two minutes remove frother lid, add sugar and ground nutmeg to the frothing pitcher. Replace lid and wait for frother to automatically shut off. Serve in mugs.

Note: It is still debatable if warm milk actually promotes sleep, but here at Capresso we think warm milk and cookies produce the best dreams.

Argentinean Hot Chocolate (El Submarino)

Leave a comment

When we discovered Argentinean Hot Chocolate, we most enjoyed the chocolaty submarine. What’s that you ask? It’s a piece of dark chocolate that sinks into hot milk and slowly melts to create a wonderful glass of hot chocolate.

Prepare a glass with your Capresso froth PRO.

Argentinean Hot Chocolate (El Submarino)

1-2 servings

–       10 oz. whole milk

–       1 Tbs. sugar

–       ½ tsp. vanilla extract

–       1-2 oz. good quality dark chocolate

Place the heating disk in your Capresso froth PRO and ensure it is securely snapped inside the bottom of the frothing pitcher. Add milk and vanilla extract to the frothing pitcher, place lid and press the Hot button. After two minutes, remove the lid and add sugar. Replace lid and wait for frother to automatically shut off. Pour hot milk into cups and serve with a square of dark chocolate to serve as “the submarine.” Use a spoon to “sink” the chocolate into the hot milk and stir. As you stir, the chocolate turns the hot milk into hot chocolate.
