1
Make Espresso
Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Make sure to use freshly ground coffee for the best flavor.
2
Add Water
In a small saucepan, heat 60 ml of water until it is hot but not boiling. This will be used to dilute the espresso if needed.

3
Heat Milk
In another saucepan, gently heat 150 ml of whole milk on low heat. Do not boil; you just want it warm enough to froth.
4
Froth Milk
Once the milk is warmed, use a milk frother or a whisk to create foam. Whisk briskly until you get a thick layer of foam on top.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large cup, pour the 2 shots of espresso. If desired, dilute with the hot water. Stir in sugar to taste if you want sweetness.
6
Add Frothed Milk
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso. Use a spoon to hold back the foam while pouring to get the milk in first, then top with the milk foam.
7
Garnish (optional)
Sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder on top for added flavor and presentation.
