how to make white chocolate mocha

  • White chocolate powder (or white chocolate syrup)
  • Espresso
  • Milk
  • Ice cubes (for iced version)
  • Measure out the chocolate. Follow the guide for measurements[1].
    • 12 oz cup: 2 tablespoons, 1/8 cup, 1 ounce
    • 16 oz cup: 4 tablespoons, 1/4 cup, 2 ounces
    • 20 oz cup: 6 tablespoons, 3/8 cup, 3 ounces
      1. Steam the milk. Place the steam wand straight down into the milk instead of in a diagonal position. The temperature for the milk should be between 140 and 150 degrees F. Anything over 160 may scorch a person's mouth.
      2. 3
        Pour espresso shots by tamping the ground espresso into the portafilter and locking it into the espresso machine. The aim time is 10 seconds; anything longer than that, the espresso will cook itself and lose the taste.
      3. 4
        Pour the powder/syrup into the cup.
      4. 5
        Pour the espresso next in the cup and mix the powder/syrup together until the powder has dissolved or you don't feel any clumps.
      5. 6
        Pour the milk in(hold back the foam).
      6. 7
        Top off the drink with whipped cream or any topping of your choice.

how to make carmel macchiato

Fill the metal pitcher with 3/4 cup of milk. (Or use pot on stove.)

  1. ce thermometer securely inside of the pitcher.
  2. 3
    Steam milk to 165 degrees. (Heat till almost a boil.)
  3. 4
    The steam wand should be inserted diagonally just below the surface of the milk. This will create "froth" necessary for a good Caramel Macchiato.
  4. 5

  5. 6
    Pouring shots is an art form, but this drink is... flavored: However, a perfect shot has a fluid heart, minimum body and a small helping of crema. A "perfect shot" is pulled inside of 15-24 seconds.
  6. 7
    You'll need to pour 1 ounce flavor for every 8 ounces milk.
  7. 8
    Pour your steamed milk over the the flavoring leaving 2 inches for froth at the top. (Use metal cooking whip to foam the milk.)
  8. 9
    Scoop froth over your milk until you're 1 inch from the rim.
  9. 10
    Pour your shots over the froth.
  10. 11
    Making a zig zag or artsy patterns of your choice, drizzle caramel syrup over the froth.
  11. 12
    You just make this drink without expensive expresso machine.
  12. enjoy:)

how to make eggnog latte

Ingredients:

1/2 cup egg nog (Borden is very thick and good and Starbucks uses a local brand according to the area they are in)

1/4 cup whole milk or 2% milk. (recommend whole for frothing)

1 - 2 shots espresso or 1/4 c Espresso Roast coffee (ground and brewed strong)

a sprinkle of ground nutmeg

Instructions:

Combine cold egg nog with cold whole milk. Non-fat milk or soymilk can be substituted for the high-fat milk.

Steam the egg nog - milk mixture until the temperature reaches 145°F. or use stove-top and do NOT scorch. You just won’t have the foam unless you use some sort of mixer to create the foam. Hey, it works!

Egg nog heats and scalds quicker than milk, so watch your heat temperature closely.

Pull your espresso shots and place in mug or pour the 1/4 cup strong coffee in mug.

Fill the remaining room in mug with steamed egg nog mixture. Add extra eggnog foam to the top of the mug.

sprinkle with ground nutmeg.
