Ingredients

• 2 shots Espresso
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Brew two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Pour the espresso into a large coffee cup.

Step 2

Heat 1 cup of whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Alternatively, use a microwave to heat the milk for about 1 to 1.5 minutes until hot but not boiling.

Step 3

Froth the milk using a milk frother, an immersion blender, or by vigorously shaking the heated milk in a tightly sealed jar. Aim for a rich, creamy foam layer.

Step 4

Carefully pour the steamed milk into the coffee cup with brewed espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to control the ratio of milk and foam. Once the milk is poured, gently spoon the froth on top to create the classic cappuccino look.

Step 5

If desired, sweeten the cappuccino with 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir to combine. Optionally, dust the top with a pinch of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.

Step 6

Serve immediately while the cappuccino is hot, and enjoy your cafe-style drink at home.
