1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker. Pour the espresso into a large coffee cup.
2
Add Hot Water
Add 30 ml of hot water to the espresso to dilute it slightly, if desired. This step is optional and depends on your preference for strength.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 200 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4
Froth the Milk
Once the milk is hot, use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk until it becomes light and airy, forming a creamy foam. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add 1 teaspoon of sugar while frothing.
5
Add Cinnamon
If desired, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the frothed milk and mix gently for added flavor.

6
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothed milk over the prepared espresso in the cup, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder over the top for a rich finish. For an extra touch, add chocolate shavings if desired.
