Add 1 heaping teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa to the heated milk.

Add 2 heaping teaspoons of powdered sugar to the mixture.

Stir the mixture with a large spoon, pressing against the side of the container to dissolve the cocoa and sugar.

If available, use a handheld mixer to blend the ingredients together until well combined and frothy.

Pour the mocha latte into a glass.

Top with whipped cream if desired.

Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top as a garnish if desired.

Add a touch of vanilla flavoring and stir again before serving.
