Notes
- Milk: We prefer whole milk, but any variety of dairy or nondairy milk will work fine here. Oatmilk is very creamy and delicious in this latte.
- Variations: For a less sweet version, leave out the chocolate syrup. For a sweeter version, add more chocolate syrup or stir in simple syrup to taste.
- Separation: Cocoa powder doesn't dissolve very well into hot liquids, so it may separate a bit the longer it sets and cools. Just stir to combine again and you're good to go.
- Iced Peppermint Mocha: Whisk the chocolate syrup and cocoa powder together with very hot coffee or espresso to combine. Pour over ice and top with milk and peppermint syrup. Stir to combine.
