This morning, a cold, foggy morning in June, I took time to make a perfect cappuccino. My trusty Nespresso machine groaned into action and dripped a Cosi espresso into a tea cup. I went to the stove and poured organic whole milk into an All Clad sauce pan, whipping the milk with a whisk while I turned up the gas heat. (The trick here is to whip furiously, quickly, while the milk heats up.) When the sauce pan was full of froth, I spooned off a great deal of white softness, poured a little hot milk in after it, and dusted it with “raw” cane sugar.
Nothing is perfect, ever; but this cappuccino came fairly close! It helps to take time for little bits of beauty throughout your daily routine.
Little bits of beauty – what a lovely way to put it. Must do more of that.
