1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew a shot of espresso. Ensure that the water temperature is around 90-95°C for optimal extraction.

2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat the milk to about 65°C (not boiling). This is the ideal temperature for frothing.
3
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother, whisk the heated milk until you achieve a velvety foam with small bubbles. The texture should be creamy and smooth.

4
Combine the Ingredients
In a coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso first. Then gently spoon the frothed milk on top, allowing some foam to sit atop the espresso.
5
Add Toppings
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk and add sugar to taste. You can use a stencil for a decorative cocoa sprinkle.
