  1. 1

    Warm a large mug by filling it with hot water, then tip the water out.

  2. 2

    Put the cocoa and sugar in the mug.

  3. 3

    Pull the espresso straight into the mug over them.

  4. 4

    Stir hard until no dry lumps of cocoa remain and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  5. 5

    Heat the milk until it steams and small bubbles form at the edge, about 65 °C (150 °F); do not let it boil.

  6. 6

    Froth the milk with a steam wand, a handheld frother or by pumping it in a French press until it has a layer of fine foam, 20-30 seconds.

  7. 7

    Pour the hot milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.

  8. 8

    Finish with a little grated chocolate if using and serve at once.
