Brew espresso using finely ground coffee beans and hot water until rich and aromatic.

In a separate container, combine sugar and a small amount of brewed espresso to create a paste.

Whip the sugar-espresso mixture until it becomes light and frothy, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Gradually add the remaining brewed espresso to the frothy mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil.

Froth the heated milk using a whisk or milk frother until it doubles in volume.

Pour the frothed milk into a cup, filling it halfway.

Top the milk with the sweetened espresso mixture, allowing it to float on top.

Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

Serve immediately, enjoying the rich aroma and layered texture.
