Method

Brew Espresso

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the espresso is rich and strong.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    After brewing, add 60 ml of hot water to the espresso to create an Americano base, if desired.

Froth the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat 200 ml of milk over medium heat until it's steaming but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and is creamy.

Assemble the Cappuccino

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the brewed espresso into a coffee cup. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk. Add sugar to taste, stirring gently to combine.
