How to Make Simple Hot Mocha

  1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using 1/4 cup of finely ground coffee beans.
  2. In a mug, combine 1/4 cup of freshly brewed coffee with 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream (or milk, for a less intense flavor).
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup (or to taste).
  4. Stir well until the ice cream is melted and the mocha is smooth and creamy. If needed, gently heat the mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until the ice cream melts completely.
  5. (Optional) For a frothier mocha, briefly blend the mixture using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender for a few seconds.
  6. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional) and enjoy your decadent homemade mocha!
