Ingredients

150 ml Whole milk full-fat
75 ml Espresso coffee brewed using 18g espresso powder
30 g White chocolate
¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

Fill a mug with hot water and leave to stand while you make the mocha.
Warm the milk in a saucepan until steaming, then add the white chocolate let it stand for 30 seconds.
Add the vanilla extract and stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
Optional: froth the milk using a stick blender or a milk frother.
Brew the espresso coffee - aim for around 75ml.
Pour the warm water out of the mug and pour in the coffee then top with the chocolate milk.
Garnish with whipped cream and toppings as desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Warm your mug by letting hot water stand in it while making the drink
Vary the strength of the coffee according to your own tastes, but remember that very strong coffee may mask the white chocolate flavour more significantly
Taste the drink before deciding to add any sugar to it. I find this drink, as made according
Make it vegan: try using almond or oat milk in place of regular dairy milk and use vegan white chocolate. Don't forget to forego the whipped cream or make a suitable swap with a vegan-friendly product such as whipped coconut cream

Making without an espresso machine

If you do not own an espresso machine it is still possible to make this drink. Try brewing the espresso coffee in a cafetière (French press) instead.

Alternatively, use instant coffee - dissolve 1 rounded teaspoon in 40ml hot water.

Make an iced white mocha

Heat ⅓ of the milk to melt the chocolate into, then transfer this to a jug and add the remaining cold milk, vanilla extract and some cooled coffee. Chill if there's time and then pour over plenty of ice.
