- This recipe is for an 8 ounce mug. You could use a larger one, but it won’t be full.
- You can use either cold or fresh espresso. If you decide to use cold, make sure that your milk is piping hot.
- I like to use my little milk frother (I got mine at IKEA) to whip my cream. I can’t be bothered with dragging out ANOTHER piece of equipment.
- This recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder, but you could also use chocolate syrup for a smoother consistency. Make sure you leave out or cut down on the maple syrup if you do.
- I actually don’t use a recipe most of the time when I make a mocha: I make it up as I go. Think of this recipe as a starting place and customize to your liking!
- My preferred coffee maker is the Aeropress. Of course if you’re all set up with an espresso maker you can make your espresso and froth your milk using your machine. Lucky you.
It looks from the hands photo that a certain little girl might want to try a sip of mocha!
Oh, she would LOVE that. 😀
That sounds delicious!
Definitely going with the "hers" in this one. Coffee needs to slam me or it's not good coffee. 😛 I prefer to use an Italian Bialetti for my espresso. Mmmmm.
Thanks, Rebecca!
Yay! Someone else who enjoys less sweet coffee. 🙂 I have a Bialetti as well. It seems that it makes a much more bitter coffee than the Aeropress. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
I can't wait to try this! It looks delicious!!
Thank you – hope you enjoy! 🙂
Definitely need to try my hand at both recipes.. I have shockingly never made my own mocha from scratch before and think it's something I need to do asap.
I'm going to try this out with skim milk. Looks fantastic and comforting. YUM!
