Brown Sugar Cocoa recipe <3

Hey everyone!

FEBRUARY POST CHALLENGE #24

This recipe is my variation on the Brown Sugar Macchiato, which in turn is a variation of the caramel macchiato. 

You've probably heard of the caramel macchiato before, but maybe not the brown sugar macchiato. Well, it's actually the name of a drama in which the main characters are served brown sugar macchiato every day.

I thought it would be fun to recreate this drink, but you know how you're not supposed to drink coffee when you're young? I searched for a caramel macchiato recipe without coffee, but with no success. 

So, time for some deduction and experimentation. Caramel macchiato uses strong expresso, vanilla syrup, milk, and caramel syrup. Expresso is bitter, what can I use to replace it?

And so the brown sugar cocoa was born! Please enjoy the recipe below. 

INGREDIENTS

-cocoa powder

-vanilla extract

-brown sugar

-water

-milk

-whipped cream (opt.)

-chocolate syrup (opt.)

METHOD

Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to a cup. It is essential that cocoa powder is used and not hot chocolate powder! 

Add one teaspoon vanilla extract and add just enough hot water for the cocoa to dissolve. 

Fill the rest of the cup with steaming milk or microwave on high for one minute. 

Stir in brown sugar to taste. For me, that's about two tablespoons. 

Now it's ready to drink! If you want to be fancy, add whipped cream and drizzle chocolate sauce on top. 

Enjoy!
