1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a pre-warmed cup.

2
Steam the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of whole milk until steaming but not boiling. Froth the milk until it doubles in volume, creating a thick, velvety texture.

3
Mix Espresso and Milk
Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso. For a cappuccino, use equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. For a caffe latte, use more steamed milk and less foam.

4
Add Toppings
For cappuccino, sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top. For both drinks, add sugar to taste.
