1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. Make sure to use fresh coffee grounds and tamp them evenly for optimal extraction.
2
Measure the Water
Measure out 100 ml of water and set it aside for the espresso machine if necessary.

3
Heat the Milk
Pour 150 ml of whole milk into a steam pitcher and steam until it reaches a temperature of 60-65°C (140-149°F). The milk should be frothy and velvety.
4
Add Sugar
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the steamed milk and stir gently to dissolve.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso shots into a cappuccino cup. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso, allowing the froth to rise to the top.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
