Mocha Latte Recipe (Starbucks Style)
Say goodbye to your boring, regular latte and hello to a rich and chocolatey Starbucks copycat of the Caffé Mocha that will have you coming back for more. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make it:
Ingredients
- 60 ml espresso (2 shots)
- 200 ml steamed milk
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
Optional
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp whipped cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso (doppio) and set it aside to cool slightly.
- Steam milk any way you like. If you don't have a milk steamer, it's easiest to use a small saucepan and heat the milk over medium heat until it's scalding.
- Add half of the chocolate syrup and optionally the sugar to your mug. You can substitute the chocolate syrup with cocoa powder.
- Gradually pour the brewed coffee into the mug, stirring constantly.
- Pour the steamed milk into your coffee.
- Enjoy your mocha latte topped with whipped cream and drizzle the rest of the chocolate syrup on top, or sprinkle some cocoa powder on it if you like.
