Let’s start with the basics. A mocha is basically a latte with chocolate in it. If you’re a latte fan and have a sweet tooth, then a mocha is for you!
A latte is an espresso and milk drink. It starts with 2 ounces of espresso; the rest is steamed milk. Cafe mocha is exactly like a latte, but you add chocolate. The espresso is often pulled directly into a base layer of chocolate syrup waiting in the cup!
Run a chocolate bar across a fine Microplane to shave chocolate onto the surface of your drink. Yum!
It’s easy to make your own. In a blender, combine a cup of heavy cream, a tablespoon of maple syrup, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Your whipped cream will be ready after 20 seconds, on high!
