1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a coffee cup. The espresso should have a rich, dark crema on top.
2
Dilute with Hot Water
Add 30 ml of hot water to the brewed espresso to balance the strength. This step is optional, depending on your taste preference.

3
Heat the Milk
Pour 150 ml of milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and has a creamy texture. If you don’t have a frother, you can shake it vigorously in a jar with a lid.

5
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture in the coffee cup, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then, scoop the foam on top.
6
Add Toppings
Dust the top of the foam with 1 tsp of cocoa powder and add sugar to taste.
