Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup 18% cream
  • cup cocoa powder
  • 4 ½ cups strong coffee hot
  • cup caramel syrup
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon sea salt optional

Instructions

  • On medium heat, place a medium pan and whisk together whole milk, cream, and cocoa powder until there are no lumps.
  • Allow it to come to a slow boil, then lower the heat and add coffee, caramel syrup, and sea salt (if desired) and whisk to combined and warm throughout.
  • Serve with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce on top.

Notes

  • Fresh is Best: Brew fresh coffee and on the stronger side than you normally would for a nice bold flavor.
  • Whisk the Cocoa Powder Well: Take time to fully dissolve the cocoa so it’s silky and smooth.
  • Don’t Boil Too Hard: A gentle boil is enough to combine the ingredients without scalding the milk.
  • Serve Immediately: This mocha is best enjoyed warm and freshly made.
  • Refrigerator: If needed, store in an airtight container and use within 24 hours as this is best served fresh. Add any toppings when ready to serve.
  • Reheating: Reheat gradually on low heat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
