1
Brew Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
2
Boil Water
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.

3
Mix Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add 2 tablespoons of the hot water from the saucepan to the mixture and stir until smooth and well combined.

4
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk simultaneously.
5
Froth the Milk
Once the milk is heated, use a frother or whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and forms a creamy texture.

6
Mix Espresso with Chocolate
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso over the chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.
7
Add Frothed Milk
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the mug, allowing it to mix with the chocolate and espresso.
8
Garnish (optional)
Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
