Ingredients
Method
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
- 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.
- Pour the chocolate paste back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and whisk until well combined and frothy.
- Brew your coffee or espresso and pour it into a large mug. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Slowly pour the chocolate milk mixture over the coffee, stirring gently to combine.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for garnish.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder and sugar.
- Experiment with flavored syrups like peppermint or hazelnut for a unique twist on the classic mocha.
