Servings: 6
Calories: 165kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup cream I used 18%
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 4 ½ cups strong coffee hot
- ⅓ cup caramel syrup
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Garnish Options
- Whipped Cream Caramel Sauce, Ice Cream, Sea Salt
- Optional: top with Butterscotch caramel ice cream caramel drizzle, sea salt
Instructions
- On medium heat, take a large pan and whisk together whole milk, cream, and cocoa powder until there are no lumps, and it starts to come to a slow boil.
- Lower the heat and add in coffee, caramel syrup, and sea salt until combined.
- Serve as is or topped with any garnish listed above. Use sea salt for topping to make as a Salted Caramel Mocha.
Notes
- Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the coffee in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Heat milk slowly and do not boil over high heat. This will ruin the milk and may boil over making a big mess.
- Be sure your coffee is nice and strong so it cuts through the sweetness of the mocha.
- Add the whipped cream just before serving so it doesn't melt too much.
