1
Brew Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don't have one, you can use a stovetop espresso maker.
2
Prepare Hot Water
Heat 120 ml of water until it reaches a near-boiling point.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
4
Dissolve Mixture
Add the hot water to the cocoa mixture and stir until all the ingredients are fully dissolved.

5
Heat Milk
In a saucepan or microwave, heat 240 ml of milk until it's warm but not boiling.
6
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the warm milk until it becomes creamy and has a good amount of foam.

7
Combine Espresso and Chocolate
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso, then add the dissolved chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine.
8
Add Frothed Milk
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso-chocolate mixture, allowing the foam to sit on top.
9
Add Whipped Cream
Top the mocha with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for extra richness.

10
Final Touch
Sprinkle chocolate shavings and a dusting of cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream as desired.
