Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Hot brewed coffee (2 cups)
  • Cocoa powder (2 tablespoons)
  • Granulated sugar (1 to 2 tablespoons (to taste))
  • Milk (1 cup (whole or your choice))
  • Whipped cream (1/2 cup (for topping))
  • Chocolate shavings (2 tablespoons (for garnish))

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the hot brewed coffee, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir well until the cocoa powder and sugar dissolve completely, creating a rich chocolatey coffee base.
  2. Add the milk to the saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it's hot but not boiling. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Once heated, carefully pour the Canal Cocoa Coffee into mugs, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for toppings.
  4. Generously top each mug with whipped cream, allowing it to create a delightful swirl on top of the coffee.
  5. Finish by garnishing with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this unique beverage.
