Simple Mushroom Cappuccino Recipe FAQ

How Can I Make a Dairy-Free Version of a Mushroom Cappuccino?

To make a dairy-free Mushroom Cappuccino, use your choice of plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk. Look for barista blends for better froth, heat gently, froth to creamy perfection, and combine with your mushroom-infused coffee for a vegan-friendly, frothy delight.

What Are Some Tips for Achieving the Perfect Froth in a Mushroom Cappuccino?

For the perfect froth in a Mushroom Cappuccino, use fresh, cold milk and a steam wand or frother until you achieve silky microfoam. Non-dairy milks like oat or almond also froth well. Keep the wand just below the surface to incorporate air smoothly for a rich, velvety texture.
