Equipment Needed

Before you begin, gather these simple tools:

• Coffee maker / Espresso machine (or instant coffee option)
• Saucepan or microwave-safe mug
• Milk frother or whisk (optional but recommended)
• Measuring spoons
• Coffee mug

Ingredients

For 1 serving of homemade mocha coffee:

• 1 cup hot brewed coffee (strong works best)
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  (or 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup)
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Whipped cream (optional topping)
• Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)

Instructions (Step-by-Step Recipe)

Brew the Coffee

Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso. Set it aside while you prepare the chocolate base.

Make the Chocolate Mix

In a saucepan over low heat, add:

• Cocoa powder
• Sugar
• 2–3 tablespoons of milk

Whisk until smooth and lump-free. This step deepens the chocolate flavor and ensures a silky texture.

Heat the Milk

Add the remaining milk to the saucepan and gently heat it. Do not boil. Stir continuously until warm and slightly frothy.
(Optional: Use a milk frother for extra foam.)

Combine Coffee & Chocolate

Pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Slowly add the hot chocolate-milk mixture and stir well.

Finish & Garnish

Add vanilla extract if using.
Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder for that café-style touch.

Serving Tips

• Pair with chocolate cookies, brownies, or croissants
• Use dark chocolate for a more intense flavor
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth
• Make it iced by cooling the coffee and serving over ice
