What exactly is mocha?

Mocha is a mixture of chocolate and coffee. It is now one of the most popular flavors because it tastes so good! But you can also make your own by heating up milk and pouring this over finely ground dark roasted coffee beans or cocoa powder and adding sugar. You can even throw in some cinnamon for flavor! And don't forget the whipped cream and nutmeg on top to give that special "feel" to your mocha drink. Get creative, this recipe will give you many more servings than those from vending machines will! Mocha traditionally means a mocha latte, but the word has been generalized to cover any coffee drink that combines milk and chocolate. This includes a café au lait, a mochaccino, or a hot cocoa. The term "mochaccino" is actually an invention of American soldiers who served in Italy during World War II; they simply combined the Italian caffe freddo (cold coffee) with chocolate syrup and found the result delicious.
