Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 2 shots Brewed espresso
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Almond whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Sliced almonds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by warming the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until steaming, but do not let it come to a boil.
Meanwhile, brew two shots of espresso using your preferred method. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a strong brewed coffee can be used as an alternative.
In a separate bowl or mug, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and maple syrup. Mix until it forms a smooth paste. This will help the cocoa dissolve evenly in the mocha.
Once the almond milk is heated, pour it into the cocoa mixture, stirring continuously to blend the flavors smoothly.
Add in the brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Pour the mocha into your favorite mug. If desired, top with almond whipped cream and a sprinkle of sliced almonds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your dairy-free almond mocha immediately, savoring every sip of this delightful beverage.
