1
Make the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew a single shot of espresso. Ensure the espresso is rich and has a nice crema on top.
2
Add Hot Water
Dilute the espresso with 60 ml of hot water to create an Americano base. This enhances the coffee flavors.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steam starts to rise, but do not let it boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the milk until it has doubled in volume and has a velvety texture with fine bubbles.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the frothed milk gently over the diluted espresso. Aim for a 1:1:1 ratio of espresso, steamed milk, and foam.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam for a decorative finish. Add sugar to taste if desired.
