1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality coffee beans for the best flavor.
2
Froth the Milk
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 cup of milk until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother, whisk, or a jar with a lid to froth the milk until it doubles in size and has a creamy texture.
3
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a cappuccino cup or mug. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect. Once the milk is poured, spoon the froth on top.
4
Add Sweetness and Spice
Add sugar to taste, stirring gently to combine. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your rich cappuccino!
