Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1 cup Milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- optional Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- optional Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew two shots of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong coffee and set aside while you prepare the milk mixture.
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk thoroughly until the cocoa powder is dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the milk mixture, whisking frequently, until it is steamy and hot but not boiling. Remove from heat once it’s warmed through.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the espresso or coffee into a large mug.
Using a frother, whisk, or handheld blender, froth the spiced milk mixture until it’s slightly foamy. Pour it over the coffee in the mug.
If desired, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spiced Mocha Latte!
