What is a Babycino?
A babycino is a frothy, child-friendly drink typically made with steamed milk and topped with foam. It’s a popular choice for little ones who want to join in on the café experience without the caffeine. The best part? You can customise it with flavours and toppings your child will love!
How to Make the Perfect Babycino
Ingredients
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup)
- Flavoring (optional: vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or cinnamon)
- Cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, marshmallows, sprinkles etc for topping (optional)
Equipment
- Small saucepan or milk frother
- A reusable Bbcino cup (obvi!!)
- Whisk or handheld frother
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning. Heat until just below boiling.
- Froth the Milk: Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk until it’s light and foamy. If not, you can whisk it vigorously for a minute or two.
- Sweeten and Flavor: Add your desired sweetener and flavoring to the milk. For a vanilla babycino, add a few drops of vanilla extract. For a chocolate version, stir in cocoa powder or chocolate syrup.
- Serve in our reusable babycino cup: Pour the frothy milk into your child’s favourite BBcino cup.
- Top It Off: Sprinkle some cocoa powder, chocolate shavings or their favourite topping on top for a special touch.
- Enjoy Together: Encourage your child to take a sip and enjoy their homemade babycino while you sit down together for a cozy snack time!
Tips for a Successful Babycino
- Experiment with Flavors: Try different flavourings like almond extract, or add a dash of cinnamon for a unique twist.
