Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond milk
• 2 shots Brewed espresso
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Almond extract
• 2 tablespoons Almond whipped cream (optional for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Sliced almonds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by warming the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until steaming, but do not let it come to a boil.

Step 2

Meanwhile, brew two shots of espresso using your preferred method. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a strong brewed coffee can be used as an alternative.

Step 3

In a separate bowl or mug, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and maple syrup. Mix until it forms a smooth paste. This will help the cocoa dissolve evenly in the mocha.

Step 4

Once the almond milk is heated, pour it into the cocoa mixture, stirring continuously to blend the flavors smoothly.

Step 5

Add in the brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 6

Pour the mocha into your favorite mug. If desired, top with almond whipped cream and a sprinkle of sliced almonds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Step 7

Enjoy your dairy-free almond mocha immediately, savoring every sip of this delightful beverage.
