Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk whole, skim, or your choice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 cup brewed strong coffee or 1 shot of espresso
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder and sugar together. Add a few tablespoons of the hot milk to the cocoa mixture and stir until smooth to create a chocolate paste.
  3. Pour the chocolate paste back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and whisk until well combined and frothy.
  4. Brew your coffee or espresso and pour it into a large mug. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
  5. Slowly pour the chocolate milk mixture over the coffee, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for garnish.
