1
Grind the Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso brewing.
2
Brew the Espresso
In an espresso machine, use the ground coffee and 60 ml of water to brew a shot of espresso. Aim for a brewing time of about 25-30 seconds for optimal flavor.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not allow it to boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Once the milk is heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it has doubled in volume and has a velvety texture.
5
Add Vanilla Syrup
Stir in 15 ml of vanilla syrup to the frothed milk for a sweet, aromatic flavor.
6
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the frothed milk and gently stir to combine.

7
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a preheated coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso shot first, followed by the frothed milk mixture over the top.
8
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the milk foam. Optionally, place 2 coffee beans on the foam for decoration.
