Arctic Mocha Recipes

ICED MOCHAS

Steps:

• Pour coffee into ice cube tray. Freeze until solid, or overnight.
• In a blender, combine coffee ice cubes, milk, chocolate syrup and sugar. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

MOCHA

Steps:

• Make around 35ml espresso using a coffee machine and pour into the base of your cup. Add the drinking chocolate and mix well until smooth.
• Steam the milk with the steamer attachment so that it has around 4-6cm of foam on top. Hold the jug so that the spout is about 3-4cm above the cup and pour the milk in steadily. As the volume within the cup increases, bring the jug as close to the surface of the drink as possible whilst aiming into the centre. Once the milk jug is almost touching the surface of the coffee, tilt to speed up the rate of pour. As you accelerate, the milk will hit the back of the cup and start naturally folding in on itself to create a pattern on the top.

HOMEMADE MOCHA

Steps:

• Start by brewing your espresso coffee. I used a double espresso shot in this recipe.
• While the espresso is brewing, steam the milk.
• You can steam the milk with a steaming wand or heat it on the stove.
• In a tall glass, add a tablespoon of the chocolate sauce.
• Pour the hot espresso on top.
• Give the espresso and chocolate sauce a quick stir.
• Pour the steamed milk into the glass.
• Top this off with a serving of whipped cream.
• Finish the drink with a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

EASY HOMEMADE MOCHA

Steps:

• In a small pot or microwave-safe cup, stir together sugar, cocoa powder, and water. Heat on the stove (or in your microwave for about 15 seconds), and stir until sugar and cocoa powder dissolve and sauce is completely smooth.
• Stir in coffee and milk and continue to heat until steaming (about 30 seconds in the microwave). If making on the stove, you can whisk the mixture vigorously until foamy. Pour into a cup, top with whipped cream if desired, and enjoy!
• Combine all ingredients except the water and optional whipped cream in a mason jar. Screw the lid on securely and wrap top with a towel (in case your jar leaks). Give a few very good shakes, until everything is well-mixed and mixture is foamy.
• Pour into a mug and microwave for 30 seconds or until steaming. Top with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!

ARCTIC MOCHA

Steps:

• Melt york peppermint patties in a saucepan with one of the shots of express, add additional shots one at a time until patties are melted.
• SLOWLY add milk.
• Pour over ice and top with canned whipped topping and sprinkles.

SPICY MOCHA

Steps:

• Combine the milk, chilies, and cinnamon sticks in a heavy large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Remove from the heat. Cover and steep for 15 minutes. Whisk in the espresso, sugar, and 1 cup of cocoa powder. Bring the hot chocolate to a simmer, whisking often. Discard the chilies and cinnamon sticks.
• Meanwhile, whisk the powdered sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder in a large bowl to blend. Add the cream and whisk until the mixture is thick.
• Ladle the hot chocolate into 8 mugs. Spoon the chocolate whipped cream atop and serve immediately.

GRILLED ARCTIC CHAR

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
• Using a sharp knife, make two vertical slices through the skin of fish fillets, taking care not to cut the flesh; season with sea salt and pepper.
• Place fillets on grill, skin-side down, and grill until skin is crisp and fish is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish and continue grilling until cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle fish with Maldon sea salt and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
