It is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam traditionally served in a porcelain cup.
True Cappuccino is served HOT. Iced cappuccino is a Starbucks thing.
But two points to the asker for spelling cappuccino correctly :)

Cappuccino is an Italian coffee-based drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and milk foam. A cappuccino differs from a caffè latte which is also from the Italian coffee menu in that a latte is prepared with espresso and twice (or more) the amount of milk as a cappuccino has little or no milk foam. A cappuccino is traditionally served in a porcelain cup, which has far better heat retention characteristics than glass or paper. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer.
CAPPUCCINO COOLERS
1 c. warm water
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. instant espresso powder
CAPPUCCINO CREAM:
1/2 c. warm water
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. instant espresso powder
6 ice cubes
Cinnamon
To make iced coffee: Stir together water, milk and espresso powder until dissolved. Set aside.
To make cappuccino cream: Stir together water, sugar, espresso powder until dissolved. Transfer to a blender and mix at a high speed, adding ice cubes one at a time until cream is thick and frothy and smooth. Divide the coffee among four tall glasses. Spoon cream on top. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
CAFFE CAPPUCCINO
15 oz. milk
2 rounded tsp. instant espresso coffee
Pour milk into saucepan; heat slowly with stirring; do not boil. Add instant espresso coffee and stir to dissolve. Preheat blender jar with hot water; drain water. Pour hot milk and espresso mixture into heated jar. Cover and blend 5 to 10 seconds to froth. Pour frothed mixture into 6 oz. Cappuccino cups that have also been preheated. Add sugar to taste, if you wish.
Top froth with cinnamon (Neopolitan style) or powdered chocolate (Roman style), or whipped cream alone or with one of the above. For true Italian Cappuccino, add a dash of Amaretto liqueur to the frothed coffee or with any combination of toppings. Yield: 3 servings.
hope these help. enjoy.
