Equipment

Milk frother

Ingredients

¼ cup water
1 to 4 tablespoons sugar use white, raw, brown, honey or agavae.
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons instant coffee I used Nescafe classico
1 cup whole milk
Whipped cream for serving, optional

Instructions

Add water into a large microwave safe coffee mug and microwave for 40 to 50 seconds, until it gets hot. Stir in sugar, cocoa powder and instant coffee, until it is completely dissolved.
Tip: Make it your own! Customize the intensity of chocolate or coffee boldness in your mocha latte recipe by adjusting the amount of coffee or cocoa powder used.
Mix in milk and heat in the microwave for 30 to 50 seconds until it's hot.
Give it a stir and serve it hot as it is, froth it with a handheld milk frother, or add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Notes

Froth it - There are two ways to make it frothy like you get from a high-end coffee shop.

Using a milk frother - Froth using a hand held milk frother for a few seconds, just before serving.
Using a mason jar - In a large mason jar (or a medium one for smaller quantities), pour 1 cup of milk or ½ cup for a smaller portion and seal the jar. Vigorously shake the milk for 20-30 seconds until it becomes frothy. Remove the jar's lid and microwave the foamy milk, without the lid, for 30 seconds. Finally, pour the hot, frothy milk over the mocha latte.

I prefer to use whole milk for a creamy beverage.

I used Nescafe Classico instant coffee.
