Exact quantities, then the method.
You can turn a Millionaires Mocha sachet into something much closer to a proper Coffee-shop mocha with one trick: make it with less water so it becomes a thick syrup, then top it with steamed, frothed milk. Finish with a swirl of cream, a dusting of Cocoa and a thread of caramel and you have a tall, layered mocha that drinks like a dessert.

Makes one mug.
You'll need
- 1 Costa Millionaires Mocha sachet (23g)
- 100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
- 150ml whole milk
- 1 generous swirl of squirty cream, for the top
- 1 teaspoon of dark cocoa powder, for the dust
- 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, for the drizzle
- 1 warmed 350ml mug
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 small balloon whisk
- 1 small handheld milk frother
Method
- Warm a tall mug with hot water and tip it out.
- Empty the sachet into the mug and add just 100ml of hot water at around 90C, then whisk hard for thirty seconds into a thick, glossy syrup.
- Warm the milk in a small pan until it just steams, then froth it with a handheld frother into a thick foam.
- Pour the frothed milk slowly over the back of a spoon so it sits on top of the syrup in a clear layer.
- Top with a swirl of squirty cream, dust over a little cocoa through a sieve, and finish with a thin zigzag of caramel.
- Drink it within a few minutes, before the cream and foam sink into the syrup.
