1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Make sure to follow the machine's instructions for the correct amount of water and coffee grounds.

2
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, heat 200 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling.
3
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it is creamy and has a thick foam layer on top.
4
Add Sugar
Stir in 1 tsp of sugar into the frothed milk to add sweetness.

5
Combine Ingredients
Pour the brewed espresso into a cup and then gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to rise to the top.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the foam. Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
