Mocha

Mocha in a nut shell is coffee + cocoa + milk

As you know, the end product is as good as the ingredients that go into the dish.

When it comes to coffee, tea, cocoa, I always buy a high quality brand. For my mocha, I always use Ghirardelli chocolate.

What you need:
- Expresso shot/thick coffee brew/instant coffee
- Ghirardelli chocolate (1 or 2 heaped tablespoons) - see below
- 1 Glass of milk
- Sugar (optional is using sweetened cocoa; necessary if using Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate)

1. Heat the Milk
2. Add 1-2 heaped tablespoons of cocoa (add more or less based on personal preference)
3. Add coffee (quantity depends on taste and type of coffee)
4. Add sugar (optional)
5. Mix

Enjoy.

I have used the Drinking Chocolate and Double Chocolate Cocoa mix and both taste good. Optionally, you can also use Chocolate Hazelnut Cocoa or White Chocolate mix.
