1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker.
2
Dilute if Needed
If you prefer a milder coffee flavor, dilute the espresso with 30 ml of hot water.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over low heat until it is warm but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the milk until it is light and frothy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
5
Sweeten the Milk
Add 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the frothed milk, mixing well to combine.

6
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a cappuccino cup, pour the brewed espresso (or diluted espresso) first, followed by the frothed milk.
7
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder and 1 tsp of cinnamon on top of the frothed milk for added flavor and presentation.
8
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade cappuccino!
