Here it is, just in time for National Coffee Day, September 29th. Thanks to Krups for the recipe: We’re making the espresso in a Krups combination Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine (the company also makes an espresso machine with a glass carafe, but note that “four cups” means four espresso-size cups).

This recipe isn’t a Starbucks-variety mocha latte: It has a kick of coffee liqueur. For kids and non-drinkers, we have an iced mocha latte milkshake,” below.

HOT MOCHA LATTE RECIPE

A mocha latte is a variation of caffé latte (called latte for short) to which some type of chocolate flavor has been added.

It can be dark, milk or white chocolate syrup, cocoa powder/mix or even chocolate milk or powder.
