1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 1 cup of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a strong coffee as a substitute.

2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
3
Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture until it forms a smooth paste. If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of hot water to achieve a pourable consistency.

4
Mix Espresso and Chocolate
In a large mug, combine the brewed espresso with the chocolate mixture, stirring well to blend.
5
Add Milk
Heat 1 cup of milk until steaming (do not boil) and froth it if desired. Pour the steamed milk into the mug with the espresso and chocolate mixture, stirring gently to combine.

6
Top Your Mocha
If desired, top your mocha with whipped cream, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings and a dusting of cocoa powder.
