Servings 2 people
Ingredients
Measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml
- 1 & 1/2 tbsp instant coffee powder
- 1 & 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 & 1/2 cups chilled whole/skim milk, or half & half to make it creamier and rich
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp agave nectar/ honey/sugar, adjust as per desired sweetness
- chocolate syrup, to decorate the glasses
- Whipped cream, optional
- A couple of chocolate chips/grated chocolate, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Dissolve the coffee powder and cocoa powder in 1/2 cup of warm water. You can keep this concoction in the refrigerator to chill for some time.
- Just before serving, decorate the glasses with the chocolate syrup. Simply pour the syrup on the sides of the glass, and keep swirling to create a random pattern.
- Transfer the cold milk, coffee + cocoa concoction, agave nectar & vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until mixed well and frothy.
- Pour from a height into the prepared glasses, decorate with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips/chunks/sprinkles. Enjoy this delicious and refreshing mocha frappuccino.
Notes
Instead of instant coffee, you can also use 1/2 cup of strongly brewed coffee.
You may also use chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder, in that case just add it with other ingredients in the blender and reduce the quantity of sweetener.
If you are using sugar, then dissolve it in the warm coffee concoction.
I do not like to add ice since I don't like to dilute it down, you may add a couple of ice cubes and blend.
You can totally adjust the quantities of coffee and cocoa as per your preference.
