Do You Like Your Coffee Hot or Cold?

Some mornings, you want coffee to wake you up fast. Other times, you want coffee to feel like comfort in a cup. That’s where a white chocolate mocha comes in. Smooth, sweet and cosy—it’s a drink that feels like a treat without being complicated. With Levista, you can bring that café-style white chocolate mocha experience home. Have you ever ordered one at a cafe and thought I wish I could make this at home? The good news is you can. And today you’ll learn not just one version but both hot and iced, so you’re covered year-round.

What is a White Chocolate Mocha

A mocha usually combines espresso, chocolate, and milk. A white chocolate mocha swaps dark cocoa for creamy white chocolate, creating a sweeter and softer flavour. It’s still bold from the coffee, but balanced by the milky smoothness. Can you already imagine how that first sip feels?

Ingredients You’ll Need

Making this drink doesn’t require barista-level skills. You just need:

• Fresh espresso (or strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine)
  
  

• White chocolate chips or white chocolate syrup
  
  

• Milk of your choice—dairy, oat, almond, or soya all work
  
  

• Whipped cream for topping (optional but highly recommended)
  
  

• A sprinkle of shaved white chocolate or a drizzle for garnish
  
  

Tip: If you’ve ever worried about the drink being too sweet, you can adjust the amount of chocolate easily.

Hot White Chocolate Mocha Recipe

Step-by-step Method

1. Brew one or two shots of espresso. No espresso machine. No problem. Use strong stovetop coffee or instant espresso powder.
   
   

2. In a small saucepan, warm one cup of milk on low heat. Don’t let it boil.
   
   

3. Add two tablespoons of white chocolate chips (or syrup) to the warm milk. Stir until completely melted.
   
   

4. Pour the espresso into a mug. Add the melted white chocolate milk mixture.
   
   

5. Top with whipped cream and garnish with white chocolate shavings.
   
   

Doesn’t it sound simple? Imagine curling up with this drink on a rainy morning.

Without an Espresso Machine

Not everyone has fancy gear at home. If you don’t, try this:

• Use Levista instant coffee granules, but make them double-strength
  
  

• Or brew extra-strong coffee in a French press or stovetop moka pot
  
  

The flavour might be slightly different, but the creaminess of white chocolate will carry it through.

Iced White Chocolate Mocha Recipe

Step-by-step Method

1. Brew two shots of espresso (or strong coffee) and let it cool
   
   

2. In a glass, stir together two tablespoons of white chocolate syrup with the cooled espresso
   
   

3. Add ice cubes until the glass is nearly full
   
   

4. Pour cold milk over the mixture. Stir well
   
   

5. Finish with whipped cream and drizzle a little extra syrup on top
   
   

Doesn’t this sound like the perfect afternoon pick-me-up?

Customisations

• Want to make it cafe-style. Add cold foam on top

• Need a stronger coffee kick. Use an extra shot of espresso

• Craving a twist. Mix in a flavoured syrup like caramel or peppermint

Tips to Perfect Your White Chocolate Mocha

• Balance sweetness: White chocolate is naturally sweeter than dark. Start with less and add more only if needed.
  
  

• Froth without equipment: Pour warm milk into a mason jar, close tightly, and shake until foamy
  
  

• Make it vegan: Almond or oat milk plus dairy-free white chocolate works beautifully.
  
  

Fun Variations to Try

• Peppermint White Mocha: Add a drop of peppermint extract for a festive feel
  
  

• Caramel Swirl White Mocha: Drizzle caramel into your mug before pouring in the drink
  
  

• Cinnamon or Pumpkin Twist: Sprinkle cinnamon or pumpkin spice on top for seasonal warmth
