Ingredients

• 1.5 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0 optional, for topping whipped cream
• 4 large marshmallows
• 0 optional, for garnish chocolate shavings

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Whisk together until the mixture is warm and the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

While the mocha is simmering, toast the marshmallows. For best results, use a kitchen torch or broil them in the oven on high for 30-60 seconds, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 5

Pour the mocha into two mugs, dividing evenly.

Step 6

Top each mug with whipped cream, a toasted marshmallow, and chocolate shavings if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately, sip, and enjoy the cozy flavors!
