Melya

Serve in a Coffee mug

Ingredients

  • Espresso
    To taste
  • Honey
    Unsweetened
  • Cocoa powder
    To taste

Instructions

Brew espresso. In a coffee mug, place 1 teaspoon of unsweetened powdered cocoa, then cover a teaspoon with honey and drizzle it into the cup. Stir while the coffee brews, this is the fun part. The cocoa seems to coat the honey without mixing, so you get a dusty, sticky mass that looks as though it will never mix. Then all at once, presto! It looks like dark chocolate sauce. Pour hot espresso over the honey, stirring to dissolve. Serve with cream.

Mocktail Note

This alcohol-free recipe delivers full flavor without the spirits. Perfect for designated drivers, those avoiding alcohol, or anyone who wants a sophisticated drink any time of day.

Sweetener Tip

Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.

Temperature Tip

For hot drinks, preheat your serving vessel with boiling water. For iced versions, brew coffee or tea double-strength to account for ice dilution.
