Caffe Mocha

Caffe Mocha

Mocha or Mochaccino must be one of the finest beverages that brings together coffee and chocolate! It can be enjoyed hot or iced and tweaked to suit your cheat day. A fun fact about Cafe Mocha is that it derives its name from the port city of Mokha in Yemen which was the center for early coffee trade.

Recipe:
Serves: 2

Ingredients:

  • 5 table spoons of Slow brewed Kaapi decoction
  • 1 table spoon of Good Quality Chocolate Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of Dark Cocoa Powder
  • 100g of boiled milk (frothed)
  • Whipped cream for garnish [optional]
  • A few cubes of ice [optional]
  • Cocoa / cinnamon powder for garnish

Equipment required:
South Indian Filter for brewing the decoction

Slow Brewed Kaapi:

Ingredients:

  • 30g of Love Kaapi’s Pure Kaapi coffee grounds
  • 45g hot water 94-96 degrees for blooming
  • 90g of Ice (this helps in slowing down the brew time)
  • 45g room temperature water to avoid clumping of coffee.

This brewing is a slow process and takes upto 1.5 hours depending on the temperature in your kitchen & amp; can be further slowed down by putting the filter in the refrigerator.

Recipe:
In 2 tall glasses, add the chocolate syrup followed by cocoa powder and milk. Mix them well. Add ice if you want to relish this on a hot summer day and add a generous dollop of whipped cream if you like. Sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon powder, although I recommend cinnamon powder to relish this drink that originated in Yemen which was at one time the only source of coffee to the world.
