Ingredients for your Homemade Cappuccino Mix:
- 3/4 cup powdered milk (like Nido or any whole milk powder);
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar;

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda;
- 1 1/4 cups hot milk or water (for serving).
How to make the Cappuccino Mix:
- Place the instant coffee granules in a mortar and pestle or a small bag and crush them slightly to get a finer texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk, sugar, cocoa powder, crushed instant coffee, and baking soda. Stir until well combined.

- Finish by dusting with a pinch of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!
Pro Tip:
For a creamier texture, use milk to prepare your drink; use water if you prefer a lighter, more liquid consistency. You can also infuse the milk by simmering it with a few whole cloves and cinnamon sticks for extra depth of flavor.
Did you know?
Homemade cappuccino mix is a super convenient way to enjoy your favorite coffee shop drink at home. The word “cappuccino” comes from the Italian “cappuccio,” meaning “hood.” It is believed the name was inspired by the Capuchin friars, as the color of their brown robes resembles the color of the coffee when mixed with milk. While a traditional cappuccino is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, this instant mix is a quick, tasty shortcut for those who don’t have an espresso machine.
