Spending $5 on a Mexican Mocha is not something I can do every day. But drinking one every day is something I wholeheartedly support.
Question: How can you get that same Mexican flavor at home in a minute?
Answer: Mexican Cocoa from Savory Spice Shop in Colorado Springs.
I recently discovered the Savory Spice Shop in Colorado Springs and found the missing link to my @Home Mexican Mocha. With a name like “Savory” I didn’t know when I was walking in that I’d discover the newest ingredient in my coffee world.
The Mexican Cocoa mix contains Dutch cocoa, Indonesian cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon and vanilla powder. On its own it’s not very sweet, but with my recipe you can make this @Home drink as sweet as you want.
Here’s my trick:
1 tsp. Savory Spice Shop Mexican Cocoa
1 c. (skim) milk
2 shots homemade espresso
1 tsp. Agave Nectar, Cappuccino flavor
Brew espresso and steam milk as normal. Mix a little of the steamed milk with the cocoa powder and Agave Nectar until well mixed. Add espresso, mix well. Add remainder of milk and top with foam.
And voilà! You have a homemade Mexican Mocha – that I guarantee costs less than $5 to make for yourself.
