Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ovaltine (classic or chocolate malt flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee or espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the Ovaltine and instant coffee (or espresso powder).
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the powder mixture and stir until completely dissolved to create a concentrated coffee-malt base.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling (around 150°F or when small bubbles form along the edges). If you prefer, you can also steam or froth the milk.
Pour the coffee-malt base into a mug.
Slowly pour the warm milk into the mug, stirring gently to combine. Sweeten with sugar if desired, and stir until fully dissolved.
Top with whipped cream for an indulgent touch, and sprinkle chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy Ovaltine Mocha!
