1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a Moka pot or Aeropress to create a strong coffee concentrate.
2
Add Water (Optional)
If you prefer a milder flavor, dilute the espresso with up to 1 cup of hot water.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, you can use a microwave.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and frothy.
5
Sweeten the Milk
Add sugar to the frothed milk according to your taste, mixing well.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso. Slowly add the frothed milk, aiming for a 1:1 ratio of espresso to milk.
7
Add Toppings
Sprinkle ground cinnamon and cocoa powder on top of the cappuccino to your liking.
