Mocha Coffee
Skip the queues at your local coffee shop and whip up a mocha coffee at home in just a few minutes. Brewed coffee is flavored with cocoa, vanilla and honey for one delicious drink.
Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- ½ cup of milk (or almond milk)
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup strong brewed espresso or regular coffee
- Frothed milk or whipped cream for topping (optional)
- chocolate chips or grated chocolate optional
Instructions
- Mix milk, cocoa powder, honey and vanilla extract in a pot over medium low heat until you have a gentle simmer. Stir until honey and cocoa powder dissolve and sauce is completely smooth.
- Stir in brewed espresso and pour into a cup.
- Top with some frothed milk and sprinkle some chocolate chips or grated chocolate on top if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose quality ingredients: Use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee and high-quality cocoa powder or chocolate for the best flavor.
- Temperature matters: Avoid overheating the milk or coffee, as it can scorch the flavors. Keep milk around 140–155 degrees Fahrenheit for the best taste.
- Use real chocolate: Melt dark or milk chocolate directly into your coffee for a luxurious and authentic mocha flavor.
- Try vegan mocha coffee: Plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk can add their own distinct flavors, making your mocha even more exciting.
- This recipe makes enough for one hot mocha coffee. It is easily doubled.
- The mocha drink should be enjoyed as soon as it is made.
