Nutrition Benefits

Energy Boost: The caffeine in a Mocha Latte provides an energy boost, improving focus and alertness while enhancing mood through dopamine and serotonin. Chocolate also adds compounds like theobromine that promote happiness.

Protein and Calcium: Milk provides protein for muscle repair and calcium for strong bones. Dairy-free options often contain added calcium as well.

Antioxidants: The cocoa in chocolate syrup contains antioxidants like flavonoids, which help reduce oxidative stress and may benefit heart health. The milk also aids hydration.

Digestive Aid: The combination of caffeine and milk can soothe the stomach and help digestion. You can customize it with low-fat, sugar-free, or plant-based milks.

The Cooking Process

Ingredients

• 1 shot of espresso (or about 1 ounce if using an espresso machine)
• 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup (or more for a sweeter drink)
• 8 ounces of steamed milk (you can use whole, skim, or any milk of your choice)
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Brew the Espresso:

1. Brew a shot of espresso using your espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a strong brewed coffee (about 1 ounce).

Prepare the Chocolate:

• In a separate cup, pour 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup (or more, depending on your sweetness preference). You can also melt some chocolate if you want to use melted chocolate instead of syrup.

Steam the Milk:

• Steam about 8 ounces of milk using a milk frother or steam wand. If you don’t have a frother, you can heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave and then froth it by whisking it vigorously (or use a jar to shake it until frothy).

Combine the Espresso and Chocolate:

• Pour the brewed espresso shot into a mug. Then, add the chocolate syrup to the espresso and stir until it’s well mixed.

Add the Steamed Milk:

• Slowly pour the steamed milk into the espresso and chocolate mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the milk is poured in, gently spoon the foam on top.

Optional Toppings:

• Top your Mocha Latte with a swirl of whipped cream. You can also sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top for extra flavor and decoration.

Serve & Enjoy:

Your Espresso Mocha Latte is ready to be enjoyed! You can serve it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or even a drizzle of more chocolate syrup if you like.

Tips:

• For a dairy-free version, you can substitute regular milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
• Adjust the chocolate syrup to your sweetness preference. Some people like it extra chocolatey, while others prefer a more subtle flavor.
• To make it Iced, simply use cold milk and serve the espresso and chocolate syrup mixture over ice before adding the milk.
