1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 1 cup of espresso coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop Moka pot or an Aeropress to achieve a similar result.
2
Dilute (Optional)
Dilute the espresso with 0.5 cups of hot water if you prefer a milder flavor.

3
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, gently heat 0.5 cups of whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother, froth the hot milk until it becomes creamy and bubbly. If you don't have a frother, you can use a whisk or shake the milk in a jar with a lid.

5
Combine Ingredients
Pour the brewed espresso (or diluted espresso) into a coffee cup. Gently spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to rise to the top.
6
Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk and add sugar to taste.
