Make Your Own Cheap Mochas at Home!

Depending on the area of the country that you live in, and the size that you usually order, mochas can get quite expensive! You could easily be paying $4.00 for your beloved mocha drink. It’s a fun indulgence to go and pick up your perfectly crafted mocha drink. It’s fine to still get them but if you can skip the coffee shop once or twice a week, it is possible to make them at home!

Start by putting one part warm water and one part sweetened cocoa powder and stir them together. Take the mixture and pour it into a coffee cup. Brew the espresso on the espresso machine. Grind approximately three tbsp. espresso and add the appropriate amount of water into the machine. The exact specifics depend on the espresso maker. Wait patiently for it to brew!

Once it’s done, pour the espresso into the cup. Use the steamer on your machine to heat up and froth the milk. Pour the milk into the coffee cup. Stir everything together to blend it. Add a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy!

The type of milk that you choose is ultimately up to you. Skim or one percent milk is ideal if you want to not only cut calories and fat but also to have an extra frothy mocha. Skim milk froths much better than full fat milk. It’s also possible to use soy or rice milk.

Making your own mochas at home can really save some cash and can save you time on busy mornings!
