If you're a fan of both coffee and chocolate, a mocha coffee is the perfect drink for you. This delicious beverage combines the robust flavours of coffee with the rich, sweet taste of chocolate. In this guide, we'll show you how to make a Chocolate Mocha Coffee using your French Press.
What You'll Need
- A French Press
- Freshly roasted coffee beans from I Brew It
- A coffee grinder
- Hot water
- Milk
- Chocolate syrup
- A microwave or a pot to heat the milk
Step 1: Brew Your Coffee
Start by brewing a strong pot of coffee in your French Press. You'll want to use a bit more coffee than you usually would, as the milk and chocolate will dilute the coffee flavour. For a standard 34-ounce French Press, we recommend using about 70 grams of coffee.
Step 2: Heat Your Milk and Chocolate
While your coffee is brewing, heat your milk. You can do this in a pot on the stove or in the microwave. Be careful not to let the milk boil - you want it hot, but not scalding. Once the milk is hot, stir in 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.
Step 3: Froth Your Milk
Once your milk is hot and the chocolate is well mixed, it's time to froth it. Pour the milk into the French Press. Pump the plunger up and down rapidly for about a minute. This will aerate the milk and create a nice, frothy texture.
Step 4: Combine Coffee and Milk
By now, your coffee should be ready. Slowly press the plunger down on your French Press to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. Pour the coffee into a large mug, then top it off with your frothed chocolate milk.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Your Chocolate Mocha Coffee is now ready to enjoy! If you like, you can top it off with a bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of indulgence. Enjoy your homemade mocha!
With this easy French Press mocha recipe, you can enjoy a café-quality mocha from the comfort of your own home. Happy brewing!
