The perfect cocoa drink

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • ½ cup of coffee, espresso cup, preferably strong
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 dashes cherry brandy, 40%
  • 1 ½ tsp, heaped cocoa powder (drinking and baking cocoa)
  • 2 ¼ tsp, heaped sugar
  • 1 jar milk, warm or cold, or almond milk for the vegan version

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

Delicious both hot and cold. After much experimentation, I’ve found the perfect combination.

Pour the hot coffee into a large cup. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and the kirsch. Pour in the milk. You can use hot, lukewarm, or cold milk, depending on your taste. Then mix everything well. Depending on your mood, you can add more schnapps or omit it completely for little ones, but this will significantly affect the flavor. If you like, you can also experiment with different spices, such as vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, almonds, hazelnuts, etc., or replace the kirsch with another clear fruit schnapps. Orange and tangerine are good choices for this.
