How to Make Mexican Mocha

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of strong brewed coffee, 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and heated through (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. For a frothy texture, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high for 30-60 seconds until desired frothiness is achieved. (Alternatively, you can use a milk frother).
  5. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately!
