Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon, for garnish
- Sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons, to taste
- Milk
- 1 cup (whole or your choice of milk)
- Espresso
- 1 shot (about 1 ounce)
Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine or a stovetop moka pot.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the milk vigorously until it becomes creamy and foamy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the hot espresso into a cup. Add the sugar to the espresso and stir until fully dissolved, adjusting the sweetness to your preference.
- Carefully pour the frothed milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam to create a layered effect.
- Spoon the remaining foam on top of the milk layer.
- Sprinkle cocoa powder generously on top for garnish, adding a touch of elegance and flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy your cappuccino, perhaps accompanied by a biscotti or a slice of cake for a true Italian café experience.
