How to Make a Starbucks Mocha at home | NO SYRUPS

  • While we're all safe inside our homes, unable to have our favorite barista-made drinks, it's a great time to learn to make our own specialty coffee drinks at home. Today's drink is a favorite of many, the Mocha. I like to think of mocha lattes as grown-up hot chocolate. Super cozy and decadent to enjoy as a treat. Since we aren't traveling out to buy ingredients, I used only ingredients that I thought most of us would have at home already. Enjoy!

    In a 2 c. microwaveable measuring cup, combine:
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1 heaping teaspoon instant coffee (I use decalf but powered espresso would be better)
    1/2 teaspoon Hershey's Dark chocolate cocoa powder
    1/2 teaspoon Ghirardelli !00% Dutch-Process cocoa (I got it at Wal-Mart)
    1 Tablespoon powdered Stevia or Truvia
    Heat in a microwave (3 min in a low powered microwave)
    Stir/vigorously beat with a small wisk to combine and create some froth
    Add whipped cream if desired & enjoy

      Maybe not an EXACT dupe, but I love using sweetened condensed milk as "white mocha", so for a tuxedo mocha I'd use half the amount of chocolate and sub sweetened condensed milk for the other half! Of course there's Torani and other brands that make white mocha sauces if you prefer that!

    • @DanaDeStefano
      @DanaDeStefano  3 роки тому +2

      Yes!! If you're using instant coffee, use less water than you normally would to make it more concentrated. Same with grounds, you'll want to use less water or brew it longer to make it extra strong so it'll hold up against the milk and chocolate. Hope this helps!!

    You COULD use half as half-and-half (lactose free if intolerant) and use either Lakanto Golden or Bocha Sweet to sweeten it and if you wanted, instead of that extra spoon of cocoa, grate a little dark chocolate, this could make it sugar free and low carb in general for those who may be curious and follow everything else exactly as Ms. deStephano showed here.

    Bonus tip from an ex-barista: I don’t know if this is true everywhere, but where I live you can buy the Starbucks flavor syrups from Starbucks too, so if you like a peppermint mocha you can buy their peppermint syrup to have at home! That’s what I do :)

    • @DanaDeStefano
      @DanaDeStefano  3 роки тому

      Yes!! The Starbucks I used to work at was super busy, so a lot of the time we had to turn people down when they'd ask to buy syrups so we'd have enough, but definitely worth it to ask! Starbucks inside Target is a good bet as well!
