1
Prepare Espresso
Brew a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Pour the hot espresso into a coffee cup.
2
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is steaming. Do not boil the milk; you want it hot but not scalding.
3
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother, whisk the heated milk until it becomes frothy and doubles in volume. If you do not have a frother, you can shake the milk in a jar with a lid or whisk it vigorously in the saucepan.
4
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothy milk over the espresso shot in the coffee cup, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then spoon the milk foam on top.
5
Add Flavorings
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the foam. Add sugar and vanilla extract to taste, stirring gently to combine.
6
Serve
Serve your cappuccino hot, and enjoy!
