Making a great gourmet coffee at home requires just a few key components. First you need quality ingredients, starting with your coffee beans. Koffee Kult Dark Roast ground very fine makes the perfect espresso. Without a quality coffee, you don't have a leg to stand on. It's also great to have quality unsweetened cocoa or cacao for this mocha, since the better quality cocoa powder will compliment the coffee, instead of compete with it. 

Having a few other necessities can make creating your own espresso drinks at home a breeze. A way to brew espresso and froth your milk are all great to have on hand, but not necessary for success. Check out this post on espresso and the two different types of at home espresso machines. As for a frother, you can buy one relatively inexpensive at your local Ikea. They also have them on Amazon. Don't be fooled those little hand held frothers are perfect for this job! 

For a healthy homemade mocha, you will need:

Ingredients:

Koffee Kult Dark Roast coffee, made as two espresso shots or brewed very strong,
1 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder,
1 packet stevia,
1/4 tsp. coconut oil and
1 1/2 to 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton) or your favorite milk.

Directions:

To make the mocha, brew the espresso or brew a strong cup of coffee. Combine the coffee with 1 tbs. cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp. coconut oil and froth to combine. If you don't have a frother, you can also use an immersion or bullet style blender or small whisk to ensure the coconut oil gets blended well in with the coffee. Add the stevia and stir again. 

You will want to microwave your coconut milk for 2 minutes on high. Froth with a hand frother or steam with the attachment on your espresso machine. Your immersion blender will also work well!

Pour the coconut milk over the chocolate espresso mixture. You may want to top this with shaved unsweetened chocolate or coconut whipped cream. Enjoy!
