Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- optional, for topping whipped cream
- 4 large marshmallows
- optional, for garnish chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar.
Whisk together until the mixture is warm and the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the mocha is simmering, toast the marshmallows. For best results, use a kitchen torch or broil them in the oven on high for 30-60 seconds, watching closely to prevent burning.
Pour the mocha into two mugs, dividing evenly.
Top each mug with whipped cream, a toasted marshmallow, and chocolate shavings if desired.
Serve immediately, sip, and enjoy the cozy flavors!
