1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso using 60 ml of water. Make sure to tamp the coffee grounds evenly for optimal extraction.

2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 100 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not let it boil.
3
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and forms a creamy texture. If desired, add 1 tsp of sugar while frothing to sweeten the milk.

4
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso shots. Gently spoon the frothy milk on top, allowing some of the espresso to show through.
5
Garnish (optional)
If desired, sprinkle a little cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for extra flavor and presentation.
