Mocha Coffee

A friend of mine recently mentioned that she sometimes carries hot chocolate packets with her and makes her own mocha coffee. As we continue to work from home, it’s good to know some of these fun hacks to make a special treat instead of leaving our homes and shopping for drinks.

Now this isn’t one of those complicated coffee drinks although I suppose you can have fun trying a number of additives. For this drink I just tried regular home brewed coffee and hot cocoa mix.

Homemade Mocha Coffee

One cup of brewed hot coffee

Hot cocoa mix to taste

Marshmallows optional

Start with a tablespoon of hot cocoa mix, then keep adding to taste. The amount may depend on how strong your coffee is so take your time to find the right combination.

If you don’t have hot cocoa mix, you can make your own; I have the hot cocoa recipe posted in this blog. You can also use unsweetened cocoa power.

Mocha Coffee with Cocoa Powder

One cup hot brewed coffee

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons milk

The Lucky Charms marshmallows are purely optional and a lot of fun.
