Method to make a mocha at home
Equipment:
- Kettle
- Saucepan
- Thermometer
- Your favourite mug
Boil a cup of water in your kettle, add 2 teaspoons of your chosen instant coffee to your cup. If you have sugar in your coffee, add it to taste now.
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.
That’s the simplest way to make your mocha at home. How refreshing!
