Cafe mocha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milk and coffee mixing in a Latte

A Café mocha is a variant of a cafe latte. Like a latte it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of a Chocolate syrup, although other vending systems use instant chocolate powder. Whipped cream, dustings of cocoa and marshmallows may also be added on top for flavor and decoration.

Unlike cappuccino, cafe mochas do not contain the well known milk froth on top, usually whipped cream and a dusting of either cinnamon or cocoa powder.

A variant is white café mocha, instead made with white chocolate. There are also variants of the drink that mix the two syrups.

A term moccaccino is used in some regions of Europe and the Middle East to describe Café Latte with cocoa or chocolate. In the U.S. it usually refers to a cappuccino made with chocolate.

Café Mocha takes its name from the Red Sea coastal town of Mocha, Yemen.
