1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a French press as an alternative.

2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Alternatively, you can steam the milk using an espresso machine's steam wand.
3
Froth the Milk
Once heated, froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk until it reaches a creamy, velvety texture with a nice foam on top.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a small cup, pour the brewed espresso. Gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing a little of the espresso to show through the foam on top.
5
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder or drizzle a teaspoon of caramel syrup on top of the milk foam for added flavor.
