Ingredients:

  • 2 oz espresso or strongly brewed coffee
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate syrup
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 6 oz whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 drizzle mocha iced coffee syrup

Instructions:

  1. Pour the espresso and chocolate syrup into your mug. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon and stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and smells like melted cocoa.
  2. Add the vanilla extract to the coffee base and stir again to combine.
  3. Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until it hits 150°F (65°C), ensuring it is steaming but not bubbling.
  4. Tilt your mug slightly and insert the handheld frother at a 45-degree angle just below the surface of the milk.
  5. Froth the milk until the volume increases by 50% and creates a velvety micro foam.
  6. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the chocolate coffee base, using a spoon to hold back the foam until the mug is nearly full.
  7. Dollop the remaining foam on top of the drink.
  8. Finish the drink with a dusting of cocoa powder and a drizzle of mocha iced coffee syrup.
