The White
Chocolate A Wintry Sweet
The White Chocolate Mocha is a cold coffee that has a
mediocre sweetness. After the first sip, the typical aromas of white chocolate
unfold. However, there is no "teeth-pulling candy taste" that hard
chocolate can trigger.
In the finish, a tart-creamy taste remains on the palate. The
White Chocolate Mocha is a perfect companion in the wintertime because the body
warms up quickly with the delicious drink.
Those who shake it benefit from a particularly creamy
consistency. Overall, the taste of white chocolate is very intense but hardly
tangible. Therefore, the coffee variation is well cooled as very refreshing –
it tastes very sweet and chocolatey.
When drinking, subtle nuances of vanilla always appear. They
give the drink a pleasantly soft touch. While many winter-based varieties
traditionally rely on cinnamon, this variant convinces with a vanilla note with
a round taste finish. It also impresses with its full taste.
A bitter aroma, on the other hand, is not recognizable – the
full chocolate note is rather reminiscent of cocoa.

Variations of the White
Chocolate Mocha
There are countless variations of the aromatic coffee drink.
The name derives from the word "mokka" – a type of coffee whose taste
is very chocolatey. All coffee specialities have in common that their basic
ingredients are the same.
Liquid chocolate, chocolate syrup, hot milk and espresso form
the basics for every variation. The majority of the variations also have a milk
foam or cream hood. In the case of recipes, the mixing ratios vary in
particular.
Recipes that do not rely on chocolate syrup, but on liquid
chocolate, get a fuller taste. The intense aromas of espresso and milk give the
variation a milder or more bitter taste.
Furthermore, the White Chocolate Mocha is a subvariant of
espresso. The same applies to the latte macchiato, which consists of espresso
and milk.
The latte macchiato transforms into the slightly sweeter
version by adding white chocolate. So it's no wonder that the term
"mocha" means "chocolate café".
Some versions of the White Chocolate Mocha are slightly
darker than others. This is simply due to the colour of the chocolate used. In
addition to the use of pure white chocolate, the use of other types of
chocolate is possible.
The taste of white chocolate with pieces of almond swells is
immediately transferred to the coffee drink. Experiments of this kind are worthwhile.

companion in the wintertime. The full-bodied and sweet taste ensures winter
enjoyment!
