Method

Preparing the Coffee

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso directly into a coffee cup or small mug.

  2. 2

    Add Hot Water

    Add 60 ml of hot water to the brewed espresso to dilute it slightly, creating a smoother flavor.

Frothing the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 200 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the hot milk until it’s light and fluffy, creating a velvety foam. Add 1 tsp of sugar during frothing for sweetness.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture, allowing the foam to sit on top.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder over the foam and add cinnamon to taste if desired.
