White Chocolate Mocca

Description:
A white chocolate mocha is another version of a standard mocha. With a kick of espresso, you get the hearty taste of white chocolate in your cup. Here is a recipe for a white chocolate mocha.

Ingredients:
* White chocolate powder
* Espresso
* Milk Chocolate
* Ice cubes (for iced version)
* 1/8 measuring cup
* Espresso machine
* Spoon
* Coffee cup




Directions:
# Scoop the desired amounts of white chocolate powder into the coffee cup. If you're using Hershey's white chocolate powder, you would do a scoop for a 12 oz cup, two scoops for a 16 oz, and three scoops for a 20 oz. Measures vary by brand, however, and you may need to do a little experimentation to find out how much powder works for you.
#
Pour espresso shots by tamping the ground espresso into the portafilter and locking it into the espresso machine.
#
Steam the milk as you're pulling the espresso shots. Place the steam wand straight down into the milk instead of in a diagonal position.
#
Pour the espresso into the coffee cup.
#
Stir the powder and espresso together until the powder has dissolved or you don't feel any clumps.
#
Pour the milk in. Hold back all foam from the steamer...you're making a mocha, not a pure chocolate latte!
#
Top off the drink with whipped cream or any topping of your choice.

Iced White Chocolate Mocha

1. Scoop the powder into the coffee cup.
2. Pour espresso shots.
3. Skip the steaming milk step.
4. Mix the espresso with the powder in the coffee cup.
5.
Pour cold milk into the cup at a slow pace. As you're doing this, keep stirring so that the white chocolate is mixed thoroughly.
6. Leave an inch (2.5 cm) or so of room from the top. Drop ice cubes into the cup.

[edit] Tips

* Whipped cream is optional on mochas because of the chocolate taste.
* For the iced version, be sure to drop the ice cubes in the drink by hand instead of pouring it in. This is to avoid any spilling, especially if the cup is full. Or pour into another cup filled with ice.
* Expresso is hot out of the machine, be careful not to burn yourself!
