Do you want to enjoy coffee house-style cappuccino at home -- even without a machine? This guide on how to make cappuccino will have you whipping up smooth, frothy coffee drinks in no time at all.

Cappuccino seems complicated, but it is not a difficult drink to make. The trick is creating a fluffy foam. To accomplish this, start with milk that is as cold as possible. This will produce the most steam. With this recipe, you do not need an espresso or cappuccino machine. You can use regular coffee if you can't make espresso at home, and the milk is simply steamed in a saucepan.
