1
Prepare the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop Moka pot or an Aeropress to make strong coffee.
2
Heat Water
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a gentle boil and let it cool slightly before using it. This is optional if you are using a traditional espresso machine.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and has a good amount of foam. For a latte, froth less to create a velvety texture, while for a cappuccino, froth more for a thicker foam.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large cup, pour the brewed espresso shots. If using, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup for sweetness. Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso.
6
Add Cocoa Powder
For a cappuccino, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder over the foamed milk.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top to taste for extra flavor.
