Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz espresso
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 splash steamed milk (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 tsp of cocoa powder to a demitasse.
  • Add about 1 teaspoon of honey on top of your cocoa powder and let the honey soak up the cocoa.
  • Brew espresso shot into the cup and stir until evenly mixed. 

Notes

  • Use good quality coffee beans for the best results.
  • If you want it to be creamy, add steamed milk, creamer, or even whipped cream. It is essential to use steamed milk and not regular milk if you want to add a creamy texture to your Melya. I don't drink Melya with milk, though. Just saying.
  • Don't panic if your cocoa and sweet honey don't mix well when you start stirring. They will be incorporated into the hot espresso after 10-20 seconds of stirring.
