Coffee

Milk

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. Pour the espresso into your serving cup and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Water

    Heat 60 ml of water until just below boiling. You can do this in a kettle or on the stove. Add the hot water to the espresso to dilute it slightly if desired.

Prepare the Milk

  1. 3

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil. Once heated, froth the milk until it becomes light and creamy, with a good amount of foam.

Assemble the Cappuccino

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the milk foam. Add sugar to taste, stirring gently if needed.
