Honey & chocolate latte

This drink is essentially a variation on a 'Mocha', where honey replaces sugar as the sweetener. The floral notes of the honey make the chocolate flavour more complex. The key to success is mixing the base homogeneously: the thick chocolate and honey must dissolve completely in the hot liquid before the milk foam is added, otherwise a dense mass will remain at the bottom.

Instructions

1

Heat the milk until hot, then drop in the broken chocolate and the honey.

Tip: Stir continuously until you get a smooth, brown 'cocoa'.
2

Prepare the coffee in a glass.

Tip: Fresh coffee is the best base.
3

Pour the chocolate milk onto the coffee.

Tip: The goal here isn't layering, but the mingling of flavours.
4

Garnish with whipped cream and shavings.

Tip: The fat content of the whipped cream softens the bitterness of the coffee and dark chocolate.

Recipe FAQ

Why didn't the chocolate melt?
The milk wasn't hot enough, or the chocolate pieces were too large. Chop the chocolate finely before adding it to the milk.
