Method

Preparing Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    In an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso using 60 ml of water. Ensure the machine is properly heated and the espresso is extracted for about 25-30 seconds.

Frothing Milk

  1. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until warm (do not boil). Use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and has a creamy texture.

  2. 3

    Sweeten the Milk

    Add sugar to the frothed milk according to your taste preference and mix gently until dissolved.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 4

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a large coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso. Slowly add the frothed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.

  2. 5

    Add Cocoa Powder

    Dust the top of the frothed milk with cocoa powder to garnish. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
