Preparing Espresso
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a cup. Make sure to use freshly ground coffee beans for the best flavor.
Heat Water
In a small saucepan, bring 240 ml of water to a gentle simmer. This will be used to mix with the espresso for a balanced flavor.
Mix Espresso and Water
Once the water is hot, slowly pour it into the brewed espresso to create a smooth coffee base.
Frothing Milk
Heat Milk
Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.

In a large cup, pour the espresso-water mixture. Gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to rest on top.
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder over the froth for decoration and flavor. Add sugar to taste, stirring gently if desired.
