How To: The Perfect Homemade Mocha ♥

The perfect hot drink can be made at home. Yes, thats right, I decided to experiment with the one and only classic winter comfort. Homemade mochas.  Theres a special announcement at the end as well, so read onwards :)

Ingredients:

1 cup

hot brewed strong coffee

(I used Moccona Classic)

2 tbsp

hot chocolate mix

1/4 cup

milk

optional: 

whipped cream

additional hot chocolate mix for dusting

candy canes

Method:

• Stir together the coffee and hot chocolate mix in a large mug.
• Heat the milk on the stove to warm -- it should be around 100 degrees or just hot enough that you can only keep a finger in it comfortably for a couple of seconds. Remove from the stove and froth the milk using an aerator. Alternatively, whisk vigorously by hand until the milk foams, about 1 minute.
• Pour the frothed milk into the coffee. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of hot chocolate mix.
• For a peppermint mocha, stir the coffee with a candy cane.

Xo,

Renee.
