How To Make a Mocha at Home
Don't worry, you don't need any fancy equipment to learn how to make a mocha coffee at home. You don't even need a coffee machine. So, it's never been easier to have the coffee shop experience at home.
Ingredients:
- Your favourite strong instant coffee (we recommend NESCAFÉ GOLD Espresso)
- Milk or milk alternative (to taste)
- Sugar (to taste)
- Water
- Drinking chocolate or cocoa powder
- Cream for topping (optional)
- Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Equipment:
- Kettle
- Saucepan
- Thermometer
- Your favourite mug
Method:
- Boil a cup of water in your kettle and add 2 teaspoons of your chosen instant coffee to your cup. If you have sugar in your coffee, add it to taste here.
- Then add 1 tablespoon of drinking chocolate or cocoa powder to your coffee.
- Add about 35ml of freshly boiled (not boiling) water to your instant coffee.
- Next, it’s time to steam the milk. Measure out 250ml of milk.
- Then grab a saucepan and your thermometer, add the measured amount of milk and then heat it slowly on a medium heat, stirring from time to time to ensure it doesn’t boil. If you’re using dairy milk, it will need to reach 65°C, 60°C for soy or 54°C for almond.
- Once the milk is steamed, pour it over the chocolate and coffee mix.
- Add whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles if you wish.
