Method

Preparing the Espresso

1

Brew the Espresso

Using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker, brew 1 shot of espresso using 2 tablespoons of ground coffee. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific machine.

Frothing the Milk

2

Heat and Froth the Milk

Pour 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother. Once heated, froth the milk until it reaches a creamy texture with a thick foam layer.

Combining Ingredients

3

Assemble the Cappuccino

In a cappuccino cup or mug, pour the brewed espresso shot. Slowly add the frothed milk on top of the espresso, allowing the foam to form a nice layer over the drink.

Finishing Touches

4

Add Toppings

Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the foam as desired. Sweeten with sugar according to your taste preferences.
