1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Pour the espresso into a large mug.
2
Steam the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a steam wand, heat 1 cup of milk until it reaches a temperature of around 150°F (65°C). If you are using a saucepan, whisk the milk vigorously to create froth.
3
Combine Espresso and Milk
Once the milk is steamed, slowly pour it over the brewed espresso in the mug. Hold back the froth with a spoon to allow the liquid milk to mix with the espresso first.
4
Add Froth
Spoon the frothy milk on top of the espresso and milk mixture until it fills the mug.
5
Add Sugar and Toppings
Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar to taste. Sprinkle cocoa powder and ground cinnamon on top of the froth for added flavor.
6
Serve
Your cappuccino is ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately while hot.
