Method

Preparing Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Prepare 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. Make sure to use freshly ground coffee beans for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Heat the Water

    In a small pot, heat 100 ml of water until just below boiling. This will be used to dilute the espresso slightly, if desired.

Frothing Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    Pour 150 ml of whole milk into a small saucepan and heat gently over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and has a creamy texture.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso. If desired, add the heated water to dilute the espresso slightly.

  2. 6

    Add Frothed Milk

    Spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing it to blend while keeping a thick layer of foam on top.

  3. 7

    Top with Seasoning

    Sprinkle ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, and sugar on top of the frothed milk for added flavor.
