This was FABULOUS! I'm tucking it into my Best of 2019 file. What a decadent and delicious way to start the day. Thank you!

Delicious! I think this technique of warming the milk and cocoa before adding to the coffee makes a much smoother mocha! Next time will use a bit less sugar, just from personal preference. This is probably the best I've had - even counting those made at coffeehouses! Thank for posting! Made for SWT 2019, The Traveling Tastebuds.

I really enjoyed this coffee and loved the cinnamon in it! Made it this morning prior to going into work and it just made my day and ride there! I will be making this again tomorrow morning. Thanks for sharing. Made it for Best of 2019 as recommended by dieniab.

Wow! This is delicious! You can't go wrong with coffee and chocolate in my book, but it is the cinnamon that takes it over the top in this one! I had it warm with brunch today, and it was smooth and spicy and perfect. I have a little saved that I am chilling, and I will try it cold over ice tomorrow.
