Directions
Step 1
Brew 2 shots of espresso or prepare 1/2 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.

Using a milk frother, handheld whisk, or immersion blender, froth the milk mixture until you achieve a creamy foam layer.
Step 5
Pour the prepared espresso or coffee into a large cappuccino cup.
Step 6
Slowly pour the frothed milk mixture over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to allow the liquid milk to mix with the coffee.
Step 7
Spoon the remaining foam on top of the cappuccino to create a frothy finish.
Step 8
If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Step 9
