1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew a shot of espresso coffee. Ensure the espresso is strong and well-extracted for the best flavor.
2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a milk steamer, heat 1 cup of milk until it is steaming but not boiling. If using a saucepan, whisk the milk continuously to create froth.
3
Froth the Milk
If you have a milk frother, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and is creamy. This is key to achieving a good cappuccino texture.
4
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the shot of espresso into a cappuccino cup. Slowly add the frothed milk on top of the espresso, allowing the foam to rise above the cup's rim.
5
Add Toppings (Optional)
Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the froth for added flavor. Add sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter cappuccino.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your homemade cappuccino!
