Brew 2 shots (about 60 ml) of espresso or prepare 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee if an espresso machine isn't available.
While the coffee brews, pour 1 cup of milk into a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until steaming but not boiling, about 3 minutes.
Froth the milk using a milk frother, handheld whisk, or by shaking the milk vigorously in a heat-proof jar with a lid. Set aside if needed.
In a serving cup or mug, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
Pour the freshly brewed espresso or coffee into the mug, stirring to combine with the maple syrup.
Gently pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to layer it nicely before spooning the foam on top.
Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the foam for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Maple Cappuccino!
