1
Brew the Espresso
Use an espresso machine to brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker.
2
Add Hot Water
Dilute the espresso with about 30 ml of hot water to achieve a smoother flavor.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it's warm, but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and has a creamy texture. Add 1 tsp of sugar to sweeten, if desired.

5
Combine Components
In a large cup, pour the brewed espresso followed by the diluted hot water. Slowly spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing it to blend beautifully.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk. Optionally, add chocolate shavings to taste for an extra treat.
