Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it becomes creamy and foamy. If you don't have a frother, you can shake the milk in a sealed jar until foamy, then microwave it for 30 seconds.
- Pour the hot espresso into a large mug and stir in the vanilla syrup until well combined.
- Slowly pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create layers.
- Top the cappuccino with the remaining foam and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for an elegant finish.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the rich flavors!
Tips
- For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cocoa powder before garnishing.
- Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk, for a dairy-free alternative.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to taste.
