Mocha Latte
I find myself at a cafe or bakery every weekend ordering a decaf espresso latte. They are my absolute favorite beverage loaded with steamy milk. I don’t typically order mocha lattes because they’re never quite as I imagine them to be. Basically I want drinking chocolate with a latte splash. So here’s my perfect mocha latte easy enough to make at home.

Place chocolate in a heatproof pot or tea pot. Bring milk to a light simmer and reserve about 1/4 - 1/3 cups. Pour remaining milk over chocolate, stirring to melt.
Froth the milk with a frother.
Pour hot chocolate in a mug and top with coffee and frothed milk.
