Spiced Mocha Drink
A drink recipe that combines chocolate, coffee, and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 6 oz milk chocolate
- 4 floz single cream
- 1 1/4 pints hot black coffee
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- whipped cream or ice to serve
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut the chocolate into small pieces to enable it to melt quickly and evenly.
- Put the chocolate into a double saucepan or a bowl set over a saucepan of almost simmering water. The base of the bowl should not touch the water.
- Add the single cream to the chocolate melting in the bowl, then stir well to mix.
- Continue to heat gently until the chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring occasionally. Remove the bowl from the heat.
- Add the coffee and cinnamon to the chocolate and whisk until foamy. Divide between four serving glasses, then either serve hot with a spoonful of cream, or cool and chill, and serve over ice.
Notes
If any steam gets into the chocolate while you are melting it, it may turn into a solid mass. If this should happen, stir in about 1 tsp butter or margarine for each 25 g (1 oz) of chocolate.
