1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a French press.
2
Prepare Hot Water
Boil 240 ml of water. This will be used to dilute the espresso if desired.

3
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is steaming, but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and has a velvety texture.
5
Add Sugar
Stir in 1 tsp of sugar while frothing, adjusting to taste.

6
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a large cup. If desired, dilute with the prepared hot water.
7
Add Frothed Milk
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to sit on top.

8
Add Cocoa Powder
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder over the foam for added flavor.
9
Add Cinnamon or Chocolate
For extra flair, add a sprinkle of cinnamon powder or chocolate shavings on top of the cappuccino.
