Ingredients

500ml brewed coffee (instant or percolated coffee)

100ml coconut milk

1 tablespoon cacao powder

A tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon coconut oil

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoon agave syrup or honey

Method

First, brew the coffee. For instant coffee, measure 2 tablespoons of instant coffee to 500ml boiling water. For percolated coffee, also measure 2 tablespoons of ground coffee to 500ml boiling water. However, if you would like a stronger coffee flavour, add an extra tablespoon.

Put all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor as soon as the coffee is ready. Then, blend until all ingredients are combined and a frothy texture is created.

When you’re finished, pour the chia mocha into mugs and enjoy your warm drink.
