1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the machine is preheated for optimal extraction.
2
Add Water
If desired, dilute the espresso with 60 ml of hot water to create an Americano-style base.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and forms microfoam.
5
Add Sugar
Stir in 1 tsp of sugar into the frothed milk until fully dissolved.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso (and water, if used), and then gently spoon the frothed milk over the top.
7
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the milk foam. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
