This simple recipe for Irish Cream Mocha combines homemade hot chocolate, fresh coffee & Bailey’s. Perfect for winter nights!

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon

• Whipped cream

Method

1. Combine milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon & salt in a medium saucepan

2. Put the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Using a whisk, beat the mixture until smooth.
