1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. Ensure that the water temperature is between 90-96°C (194-205°F) for optimal extraction.
2
Add Sugar
After brewing, add sugar to the espresso according to your taste preference and stir until fully dissolved.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it starts to steam. Do not let it boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it has doubled in volume and a creamy texture is achieved.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a cappuccino cup. Gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing some of the rich milk to float on top.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk for garnish. Serve immediately.
