Maple Mocha
I seem to get a lot of questions about how to sweeten coffee on a real food diet…so I’ve finally decided to address it in an official recipe. It only takes four ingredients to make a tasty coffee drink that is better for you than the ones at your local coffee shop.
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (this recipe will work with regular, but I think it's sooooo much better with the "special dark" variety!)
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup honey would work as an alternative
- 1 shot espresso
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Heat ¾ cup milk in a glass measuring cup in the microwave (for about 2 minutes) or by using a milk frother.
- While the milk is heating up, stir together the cocoa and maple syrup until the mixture looks "wet."
- Pour the hot espresso and milk into the chocolate mixture…and voila! You have a “mocha.”
