Homemade Cafe Mocha: Your Sweet & Rich Coffee Indulgence
Craft Your Perfect Cafe Mocha at Home
Whip up a delightful cafe mocha using a homemade chocolate syrup, perfect for a sweet home cafe experience.
Ingredients
- 3 instant coffee sticks (black coffee)
- 40g cocoa powder
- 200ml fresh milk
- Ice cubes (to taste)
- Hot water (small amount)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the base for our cafe mocha: a rich coffee and a decadent chocolate sauce. Gather your 3 instant coffee sticks and 40g of cocoa powder.
Step 2
In a bowl with the cocoa powder, add the instant coffee sticks. Pour in just enough hot water to dissolve them – we want a thick syrup, so avoid adding too much water, as it will dilute the flavor. Stir thoroughly until the cocoa powder and coffee are completely dissolved, creating a smooth, concentrated chocolate syrup.
Step 3
Set aside about 20ml of the 200ml of milk in a separate tall glass or milk frothing pitcher. This portion will be frothed to create a lovely foam. Use an electric frother (or a handheld mixer or whisk) to create a smooth, fine milk foam. If you don’t have a frother, lightly whipped heavy cream is also a delicious alternative.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to assemble your mocha! Fill your serving glass with ice cubes. Pour in the remaining cold milk, then gently drizzle in the prepared chocolate-coffee syrup, creating a beautiful layered effect. Finally, spoon the fluffy milk foam generously on top to complete the basic structure of your cafe mocha.
Step 5
For the final touch, let’s enhance the visual appeal and flavor. Take a pinch of the reserved cocoa powder and dust it lightly over the milk foam using a small sieve. This professional touch makes your homemade cafe mocha look as good as it tastes. Your delicious and smooth cafe mocha is now ready to be enjoyed!
