Sure, the mocha is often a gateway to other coffee drinks—it just takes some customers longer to move along than others. One of our very first regulars at the Hayes Valley kiosk became so addicted to mochas that, at the apex of his habit, he consumed five mochas in one day, earning the nickname Five Mocha David. Eventually, David moved on to drinking straight black coffee, but he hasn't been able to shake his chocolately moniker. Since the ganache is extra-thick and is used warm, we have to respectfully deny requests for iced mochas; we've found the chocolate will seize up into unsightly globs in a cold and icy environment. Note: omit the espresso and voilà , you've got a hot chocolate. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons ganache for hot chocolate and mochas |
8 fluid ounces (1 cup / 240 ml) steamed milk or steamed soy milk |
1 double ristretto shot of espresso |
Directions:
1. Put the ganache in a 10-ounce ceramic cup. Pull the espresso directly over the ganache, then pour the steamed milk over the top from 12 to 20 inches above the cup. The force of gravity will be all the agitation that is required to mix the ganache with the milk. No stirring will be required. Serve immediately. |
