1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a pre-warmed cup. Ensure your coffee beans are finely ground for optimal extraction.
2
Add Hot Water
Pour 100 ml of hot water into the brewed espresso to enhance the flavor and create a base for your cappuccino.

3
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the warm milk until it is creamy and has doubled in volume. The goal is to achieve a velvety texture with small bubbles.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture, allowing the foam to sit on top, creating a layered effect.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam for garnish. Add sugar to taste according to your preference.
