Notes On Ingredients

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Syrup: This is nothing more than cocoa powder, water, sugar, and peanut butter combined together to create a flavored coffee syrup. It takes just a few minutes to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Perfect for when the craving for peanut butter coffee strikes.
• Milk: Use any milk you like, cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc. Keep in mind the higher fat the milk you use, the richer this mocha will taste.
• Coffee: You can use either espresso or strongly brewed coffee. So don't worry if you don't have an espresso machine!
• Whisk: To make coffee house lattes at home, the only tool you need is a hand-held whisk. It froths warmed milk perfectly in just 30 seconds.

How to Make a Peanut Butter Mocha

Step One: Prepare the chocolate peanut butter syrup. Combine cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and water in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low. Stir until sugar and cocoa powder dissolve, about 2-3 minutes. Add peanut butter and stir while the syrup heats, for approximately 5 minutes. Remove syrup for heat and add in vanilla and a dash of salt.

Step Two: Heat the milk of choice. Heat ½ cup of milk of your choice in a heat-safe glass in the microwave for 45 seconds. Once heated, use the whisk to froth the milk by placing the handle in between the palms of your hands and quickly moving back and forth until the milk is bubbly.

Step Three: Prepare peanut butter mocha. Combine the frothed milk, syrup to taste, and strong coffee in a coffee mug and enjoy. Top with homemade whipped cream if desired.

Storing Leftover Syrup

This recipe makes enough syrup to use for several peanut butter lattes. Allow the peanut butter chocolate syrup to cool fully and then store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Give it a good shake before using it.
