Simple homemade Cappuccino and Popcorn



Cappuccino is a coffee that's made with espresso, hot milk and topped with milk foam. This is a simple way to make something similar at home, without the fancy cappuccino maker.

Instant Coffee - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1 1/2 tbsp
Hot water - Few drops
Milk - 1 cup

In a cup, add the instant coffee and the sugar. Add a few drops of hot water and mix. The mix should be like wet sand. With a whisk or a fork, start whisking the mixture. Eventually, this will start getting frothy and light in color. When the mixture becomes frothy and thick, add a cup of hot milk and mix well. Sprinkle some cocoa/coffee powder on top and enjoy hot.



















Popcorn:

Dry corn - 1/4 cup
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Chili powder - 1 tsp
Garlic powder - 1 tsp

In a pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the salt, chili and garlic powder. Add the corn, mix well and close the lid. The corn will start popping in about half a minute, and when the popping starts to subside, turn off the heat. Open after a few seconds, when the popping subsides.
