1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a cup. Make sure the espresso is rich and aromatic.
2
Add Water
If desired, add 60 ml of hot water to the brewed espresso to create an Americano base. This step is optional and based on preference.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 200 ml of milk over medium heat until it is steaming, but do not let it boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it is creamy and has a light foam on top.

5
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso in the cup, ensuring the foam sits on top.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder over the foam. If you like your cappuccino sweet, add sugar to taste.
