Servings: 1

Ingredients

Espresso: 1 shot
Milk: 1 cup
Sugar: 1-2 teaspoons (to taste)
Cocoa powder: 1 teaspoon (for garnish)
Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon (for garnish)

Instructions

Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, etc.) and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and foamy. If you don't have a frother, vigorously whisk the milk until you achieve a frothy texture.
In a coffee cup, pour the hot espresso and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the cup over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
Top the cappuccino with the reserved foam and sprinkle cocoa powder and cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and savor the beautiful taste of the Amalfi Coast!
