Coffee Base

Milk Foam

Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the water temperature is around 90-95°C (194-203°F) for optimal extraction.

Frothing the Milk

  1. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 150 ml of milk until it is steaming but not boiling (around 65-70°C or 149-158°F). Froth the milk until it has doubled in volume and is creamy.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso shots. Gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to sit on top.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the foam. If desired, add sugar to taste, stirring gently to combine.
