Ingredients
Scale
For the Blackberry Mocha Syrup:
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup blackberry simple syrup (I use this one)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
For One Mocha (easily multiplied):
- 2–4 shots brewed espresso (or strong coffee)
- 1–2 tablespoons blackberry mocha syrup (add to taste)
- 6 oz milk of choice
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Fresh blackberries, for garnish
Instructions
For the Blackberry Mocha Syrup:
- Combine the water, blackberry syrup, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small saucepan and set over medium heat.
- Whisking constantly, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for a few minutes until the cocoa powder completely dissolves.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
For One Mocha:
- Brew your espresso and pour it into a coffee mug. Whisk in the blackberry mocha syrup (start with a couple tablespoons – you can always add more).
- Top the glass off with steamed milk of choice. I use my Nespresso aeroccino for this, but you can also use a hand frother with hot milk, or whisk milk in a pan on the stove until it is steamed and frothy.
- Garnish with whipped cream and fresh blackberries. Serve immediately.
