Caffè Mocha, also known as Mocha Coffee, is a delightful beverage that combines the rich flavors of coffee, chocolate, and milk. Here's a simple recipe to make a delicious Caffè Mocha at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 shots of espresso (about 2 ounces or 60 ml)
- 1 ounce (30 ml) of chocolate syrup or 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and sugar to taste
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) of steamed milk
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Espresso: Brew two shots of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, Moka pot, etc.).
-
Mix Chocolate: In a cup, mix the chocolate syrup or dissolve cocoa powder and sugar with a little bit of the hot espresso to create a smooth chocolate mixture.
-
Steam the Milk: Steam the milk until it's hot and frothy. You can use a milk frother or whisk the milk vigorously to create foam.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the chocolate mixture into a glass, then add the steamed milk. Stir gently to combine.
-
Add Espresso: Slowly pour the espresso shots over the milk and chocolate mixture. The espresso should sink to the bottom, creating a layered effect.
-

-
Garnish: Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder and a pinch of cinnamon for an extra touch.
-
Serve: Serve immediately with a spoon or straw to enjoy all the layers.
