Ingredients

2 servings

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
¼ cup water
2 oz (about 2 shots) freshly brewed espresso
2 cups whole milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

For serving

whipped cream, for serving (optional)
¼ tsp ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture forms a smooth, glossy paste and just begins to bubble at the edges, about 2 minutes.
2
Pour in the milk and whisk to combine. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges — do not let it boil, about 4–5 minutes.
