Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha
Description
This White Chocolate Mocha blends high-quality white chocolate with rich espresso and milk. When using white chocolate chips, they are gently melted with milk to create a homogeneous base, poured over a shot of hot espresso. If white chocolate sauce is used, it is combined directly with espresso and steamed milk. The drink is topped with whipped cream to add a light, creamy crown that mellows the sweetness.
The method includes heating milk to 140-160°F to ensure it’s warm but not scalded, and frothing if desired, which introduces airy texture. The drink balances the espresso’s boldness with sweet, creamy white chocolate, making it enjoyable as a morning or afternoon treat.

- 1.5 ounces espresso or 1 tablespoon instant espresso plus 3 tablespoons of hot water to dissolve
