Make your own Cafe Mochas and Mocha Frappuccinos at home and stop spending so much money at those fancy coffee houses! :) This recipe has helped me save a LOT of money and still enjoy what I love! This is from the wonderful book Cappuccino Cocktails . NOTE: The prep time does not include chilling time in the fridge. Ingredients:
1 cup sifted unsweetened dutch-processed cocoa powder |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
1 dash salt |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine the cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly.
2. Add water gradually to the cocoa, stirring (not beating) with a whisk to blend thoroughly.
3. Place over medium heat, stirring frequently with the whisk until mixture comes to a boil. A layer of foam may form on top of the syrup.
4. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring at all times with the whisk. Reduce the heat if the syrup threatens to boil over.
5. Remove from heat; pour into a heatproof liquid measuring cup (3 cup/750 ml capacity).
6. Cool briefly, then chill, uncovered, in the refrigerator until completely cold.
7. Strain through a fine strainer into a 2 1/2 cup (625 ml) container.
8. Stir in vanilla.
9. Store covered, in the refrigerator.
