Serves 2

Ingredients

Pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup, for garnish
Whipped cream
1/2 cup, for topping
Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
Pomegranate juice
1/2 cup, preferably fresh
Dark chocolate
2 ounces, chopped
Milk
1 cup (any type you prefer)
Espresso or strong brewed coffee
1 shot (or 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  2. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the hot milk and stir until melted and well combined, creating a luscious chocolate base.
  3. In a separate saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and sugar over low heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, forming a sweet pomegranate syrup.
  4. Brew a shot of espresso or prepare 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee, depending on your preference.
  5. In a large mug, pour the hot chocolate mixture first, followed by the espresso or coffee.
  6. Drizzle the warm pomegranate syrup into the mug and stir gently to blend the flavors harmoniously.
  7. Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds for a delightful crunch and burst of flavor.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the exquisite combination of taste and texture!

Tips

  • 💡 For a vegan version, substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free chocolate.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavored syrups, such as vanilla or caramel, for an extra twist.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of milk or add more chocolate.
