1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a cappuccino cup.
2
Add Sugar
Once the espresso is brewed, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the hot espresso and stir until dissolved.
3
Mix Cocoa Powder
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder over the espresso and stir to combine well.
4
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 6 oz of milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.

5
Froth the Milk
In a separate container, froth 4 oz of milk using a milk frother or whisk until it forms a creamy foam.
6
Add Cinnamon (Optional)
If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon to the frothed milk for added flavor.

7
Combine Ingredients
Pour the hot, frothed milk into the cup with the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon.

Top with Foam
Spoon the frothed milk foam on top of the cappuccino to create a layered effect.

Garnish
If desired, dust with additional cocoa powder or sprinkle some cinnamon on top before serving.
