How to Make Mocha Hot Chocolate
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 cups milk, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, and 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (or to taste) until smooth.
- Heat over medium heat, whisking frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is steaming and just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur or coffee liqueur (optional).
- Pour into two glass mugs.
- In a separate small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk over low heat until warm.
- Use a stick blender to froth the warm milk until light and airy. Alternatively, use a milk frother attachment on your coffee machine.
- Spoon the frothed milk over the hot chocolate and serve immediately. Garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (optional).
