1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 1 shot of espresso and set it aside.

2
Make the Chocolate Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Heat the Milk
In a separate saucepan or using a milk frother, heat 1 cup of milk until hot but not boiling. If you prefer frothy milk, froth it using a milk frother or whisk.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso. Add the prepared chocolate sauce and stir well to combine.
5
Add Milk
Slowly pour the hot milk into the mug with the espresso and chocolate mixture, stirring gently to combine. Adjust the amount of milk based on your preference for strength.
6
Serve
Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your mocha!
