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
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.

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.
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.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso. If desired, add the heated water to dilute the espresso slightly.
6
Add Frothed Milk
Spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing it to blend while keeping a thick layer of foam on top.
7
Top with Seasoning
Sprinkle ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, and sugar on top of the frothed milk for added flavor.
