MAKE A MOCHA CAPPUCCINO AT HOME

YOU’LL NEED:

• 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 1/3 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1/2 cup of hot milk
• 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
• A frother or steam wand

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1:

The first step is to fire up your at-home brewer. If you’re making regular coffee, you can use whatever brewing method you prefer — automatic drip machine, pour-over, French press, whatever you like. If you want something a little bit stronger, though, use your espresso machine to pull a shot of the dark roasted java.

STEP 2:

Once your brew is in a mug, add chocolate syrup and cocoa powder, and stir until the wet ingredients are well-blended and the powder has dissolved. 

STEP 3:

Next, pour vanilla extract and hot milk into a frothing pitcher and steam (or froth) the liquid until it’s bubbly. We used two percent milk, but feel free to use your favorite non-dairy substitute if you’d like. 

STEP 4:

Pour the freshly frothed mixture over the coffee, then top the drink with milk foam and a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and you’re all done!
