Method

Preparation of Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso and set aside.

Preparing the Mocha

  1. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the brewed espresso, chocolate syrup, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until warm, stirring to dissolve the sugar and mix the chocolate syrup thoroughly.

  2. 3

    Heat Milk

    In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk until steaming but not boiling. If making an iced mocha, skip this step.

  3. 4

    Combine Espresso with Milk

    For hot mocha, pour the heated milk into the espresso mixture and stir well. For an iced mocha, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the espresso mixture over the ice, and then add the cold milk.

Serving

    Add Toppings

    If desired, top the mocha with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Serve immediately for hot mocha or allow to chill slightly for iced mocha.
