1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you do not have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop moka pot to prepare strong coffee.
2
Add Water
Dilute the brewed espresso with about 60 ml of hot water to create an Americano base if desired.

3
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil.
4
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and forms a thick, velvety foam.
5
Sweeten Milk
Add 1 tsp of sugar to the frothed milk and stir gently to combine.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a large coffee cup, pour the diluted espresso base, followed by the frothed milk. Hold back the foam with a spoon to allow liquid milk to pour first.
7
Top with Cocoa
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the foam for added flavor and decoration.
