Mocha: A Chocolatey Coffee Delight

What You’ll Need

  • Espresso: 1 shot

  • Hot Chocolate: 1 cup (or 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder with sugar)

  • Milk: 1/2 cup, steamed

  • Whipped Cream: Optional, for garnish

  • Chocolate Syrup: Optional, for drizzle

Time: 7 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Brew the Espresso
    Start with a shot of espresso using your machine or a strong brewed coffee.

  2. Prepare Hot Chocolate
    If using cocoa powder, mix 1 tablespoon of cocoa with sugar and stir it into your hot milk. Otherwise, simply prepare hot chocolate as you normally would.

  3. Combine Espresso and Chocolate
    In a mug, pour the espresso over the hot chocolate. Stir until well combined.

  4. Steam and Add Milk
    Add steamed milk to your mocha. This will add creaminess and balance the strong flavors of the espresso and chocolate.

  5. Top with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Drizzle
    For an extra indulgent mocha, top it with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Customize Your Mocha:

  • Dark Chocolate Mocha: Use dark chocolate cocoa powder or syrup for a richer flavor.

  • Mint Mocha: Add a drop of peppermint extract for a seasonal twist.

  • White Chocolate Mocha: Substitute regular chocolate with white chocolate syrup for a sweeter, creamier drink.

Why Make It at Home?
