• Serves 1
• 5 minutes
• Easy

1. Prepare an espresso and pour into a pre-heated cappuccino cup or a medium sized glass.
2. Froth the milk using the traditional steam pipe on your espresso maker, or boil in a saucepan. Only fill the jug up to 1/3 of the capacity as the volume will increase while steaming.
3. Knock out the larger bubbles in the jug by gently tapping the base of the milk jug and swirling the milk around.
4. When adding steamed milk, pour so that the milk drops through the froth first and then top the drink with the remaining froth.
5. Add sugar to taste and/or try topping with cocoa or cinnamon powder.

Tip: The milk should be steamed in a stainless steel milk jug to around 60°C, giving it a pouring temperature of 55-60°C and a froth free of large bubbles.
