1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a cup. Ensure the espresso is rich and has a good crema on top.
2
Add Hot Water
Pour 60 ml of hot water into the brewed espresso to create an Americano base.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and forms a creamy texture with microfoam.

5
Combine Ingredients
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture, allowing the foam to sit on top.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the foam. If desired, add sugar to taste.
