Coffee Base

Milk Foam

Toppings

Method

Preparing Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Ensure the coffee is rich and concentrated.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Dilute the espresso with 240ml of hot water if desired for a lighter flavor. This step is optional.

Frothing Milk

  1. 3

    Heat Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 200ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not let it boil.

  2. 4

    Froth Milk

    Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes light and airy, creating a thick foam.

  3. 5

    Add Vanilla Syrup

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to the frothed milk for added sweetness and flavor.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 6

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a large cup, pour the brewed espresso. Slowly add the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to float on top.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder over the foam for garnish. Optionally, add cinnamon to taste.
