January 18, 2018
Here’s How to make this delicious recipe!
- 1 cup whole milk (foams up better than 2% or skim)
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso (or amount based on package directions for 1 espresso)
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- *whipped cream and chocolate shavings optional
Instructions
Place 1 cup of milk in a mason jar and heat in the microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds until slightly steaming.
While the milk is in the microwave, heat 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate in a sauce pan over medium low heat and add in 1 teaspoon instant espresso and 1 teaspoon sugar and mix continuously until smooth and chocolate is melted.
Next, add the heated milk into the chocolate slowly by the tablespoon so as to create a homogenous, mocha mixture, reserving ¼ cup of the milk. Increase heat to medium if needed to help continue melting the chocolate and heating the mixture.
Put a lid on the mason jar with the remaining ¼ cup of milk and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the milk foams.
Pour the mocha mixture into a mug and top with the remaining foamed milk.
*Optional: top with whipped cream and grated chocolate
