Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1/2 cup of espresso using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Make sure the espresso is strong and freshly brewed for the best flavor.
- While the espresso is brewing, heat 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching. Heat until the milk is steaming but not boiling.
- Once the milk is heated, add 2 tablespoons of white chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated into the milk, creating a creamy mixture.
- After the white chocolate has melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to the milk mixture and stir well to combine all the flavors.
- In a large coffee mug, pour the freshly brewed espresso. Then, carefully pour the white chocolate milk mixture over the espresso, allowing the two to blend together.
- Top your toasted white chocolate mocha with a generous amount of whipped cream. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some additional white chocolate shavings or a drizzle of vanilla syrup on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade toasted white chocolate mocha, reminiscent of your favorite Starbucks treat!
