Ingredients

  • 2 cups 16oz strong brewed coffee
  • 4 Tablespoon hot cocoa mix
  • ½ cup milk
  • Whipped cream and chocolate syrup for garnish, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Brew 2 cups of strong coffee (double strength or espresso).
  2. In a mason jar, or glass pitcher, heat milk in the microwave for 30 seconds. If using the mason jar technique, screw lid on tight and shake jar vigorously for a minuteuntil frothy. Repeat for a total of 3 times (90 seconds of heating).
  3. To serve: Add 2 Tbsp hot cocoa mix to two mugs. Pour hot coffee into mugs, and stir until hot cocoa is blended. Slowly pour frothy milk over coffee. Add whipped cream and chocolate syrup, if desired (highly encouraged)!!

Notes

  • Start with double strength coffee. I brew my coffee extra strong when I know I’m going to be making a latte. You’ll dial down the coffee flavor as soon as you add the milk, so you want to be sure that your coffee is strong enough to taste!
  • Use coffee with a bold flavor. Lots of coffee brands have an “espresso roast” variety. Those are my favorite for making lattes with a strong taste, even if you’re not using them for actual espresso.
  • Be careful when you shake the jar of milk–the jar gets hot!
  • Use any type of hot cocoa mix for making the mocha. There are some great “flavored” cocoas that would be yummy, like peppermint cocoa! Add it to your coffee mug before the coffee. Give it a good stir with the hot coffee before adding your frothy milk!
  • Doubling the recipe: It’s easy to double or triple the recipe if you have a large enough mason jar to shake up the milk. You will need to heat the milk for another 30 – 60 seconds to get it to the right temperature. It needs to be hot enough to dissolve the cocoa mix.
