Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Begin by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Ensure that the coffee is rich and aromatic.

  2. 2

    Mix Espresso with Hot Water

    After brewing, combine the espresso with 60 ml of hot water to create an Americano-like base for your cappuccino.

Milk Preparation

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not let it boil.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Once heated, use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk until it is creamy and has doubled in volume. Set aside 50 ml of the froth for topping.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large cup, pour the espresso mixture and then slowly add the frothed milk, allowing the foam to rise to the top.

  2. 6

    Add Flavorings

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the froth, and add sugar and vanilla extract to taste.
