White Chocolate Mocha
Starbucks invented the White Chocolate Mocha, but you can make your own version at home! All you need are a few inexpensive ingredients and simple brewing tools. Get ready for a decadent treat!
Equipment
- Espresso machine or portable espresso maker
- Kettle
- Mug
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 ounce fresh coffee beans
- 2 ounces filtered water
- 1 tablespoon white chocolate syrup
- 1/2 cup milk
- Whipped cream optional
Instructions
- Grind your coffee beans. You’ll want a fine, consistent grind. Use a burr grinder (manual or electric) for the best results.
- Boil water. If you’re using a portable espresso maker instead of an espresso machine, you’ll need to start the water boiling. Use filtered water for the best flavor.
- Using your espresso machine or espresso maker, pull two shots of espresso into a large mug. We're using the Handpresso for this guide.
- Pour about a tablespoon of white chocolate syrup into the mug. You can adjust this amount to taste. Then stir the mixture thoroughly.
- Time to steam your milk! Use the frothing arm of your espresso machine or a standalone frother. Don’t forget to heat the milk first if your frother doesn’t do it for you.
- Pour the milk on top of the espresso. Now’s the time to practice your latte art if you’d like!
- For the full Starbucks white chocolate mocha experience, you can top your latte with whipped cream. Otherwise, enjoy your drink with the milk foam!
