1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the espresso is rich and creamy.
2
Add Water
If you prefer a milder coffee, you can add up to 100 ml of hot water to the brewed espresso to create an Americano-style base.

3
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, gently heat 150 ml of whole milk until it's warm but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the heated milk until it forms a thick foam. The goal is to create a velvety texture.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the brewed espresso into a coffee cup. Then, spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing some of the foam to float on top.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder over the milk foam. Add sugar to taste, stirring gently if desired.
