Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a spiced cocoa mix.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk vigorously or use a frother to create a frothy texture.
In a large mug, combine the brewed coffee with the spiced cocoa mix. Stir well until the cocoa and sugar dissolve completely.
Add the warm, frothed milk to the coffee mixture, pouring slowly to create a layered appearance if desired.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
If desired, top the drink with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
Serve immediately and enjoy your frothy and flavorful Mexi Mocha Coffee!
