???? Quick Mocha Recipe
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 1
✅ Ingredients:
-
1 espresso capsule (strong or dark roast preferred)
-
¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
1–2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder + sweetener
-
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
???? Instructions:
1. Brew the espresso
Use a dark, rich capsule like:

L’OR Onyx
-
Peet’s Intenso
Brew directly into your mug or glass.
2. Mix in chocolate
Stir in your chocolate syrup (or mix cocoa powder + sugar) into the hot espresso until fully dissolved.
Tip: If you're using cocoa powder, blend it with a splash of hot milk first to create a smooth paste before mixing.
3. Froth or heat the milk
Heat your milk in a microwave or on the stove until hot but not boiling. Froth it using:
-
A handheld milk frother
-
A French press (pump up and down)

Or just whisk vigorously by hand
Pour the steamed milk into your chocolate-espresso mixture.
4. Top it off
Add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for a coffee-shop finish.
