Instructions
- Start by brewing your espresso shots. The quality of your espresso will significantly impact the taste of your Nutella mocha. Use fresh coffee beans for the best flavor.Here are a few tips to brew the perfect espresso:Grind your coffee beans just before brewing.Use filtered water to avoid any impurities.Tamp the coffee grounds evenly in the portafilter.Brew the espresso for about 25-30 seconds.
- Next, heat and froth your milk. Whole milk will give you the creamiest texture, but you can use any milk you prefer.Follow these steps to froth the milk:Heat the milk in a saucepan until it’s warm, but not boiling.Use a milk frother to froth the milk until it’s creamy and has a good amount of foam.If you don’t have a frother, you can shake the milk in a jar or use a whisk.A good froth is essential as it adds a velvety texture to your mocha.
- Now, let’s combine the Nutella with the espresso. This will give your mocha that signature Nutella flavor.Here’s how to do it:Add 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella to your hot espresso.Stir well until the Nutella is fully melted and mixed with the espresso.Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.This step infuses the espresso with the sweet and nutty flavor of Nutella.
- Once your Nutella and espresso are mixed, it’s time to combine it with the frothed milk.Follow these steps:Pour the Nutella espresso mix into a mug.Slowly add the frothed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon.Gently stir to combine the milk and Nutella espresso.Top with the remaining foam for a creamy finish.This step ensures that the flavors are well-blended and gives your mocha a rich, creamy texture.
- Finally, it’s time to add the finishing touches. A sprinkle of cocoa powder enhances the flavor and makes your mocha look appealing.Here’s how to do it:Sprinkle a small amount of cocoa powder on top of the foam.For extra flair, add a few chocolate shavings.Serve immediately while it’s hot and enjoy!This final step adds a touch of elegance and extra flavor to your Nutella mocha.
