  • The gluten-free flour must be sifted with the cocoa or it will clump—this isn't optional, this is the secret to the whisper effect working perfectly
  • Temperature contrast is everything. Hot coffee, cold milk, and cool cream create a drink that's more interesting than if everything were one temperature
  • The order of pouring matters. Always add cold milk after the hot espresso has cooled slightly, or you'll lose that beautiful layered moment

  • Invest in a small whisk specifically for whisking hot chocolate and mochas—it creates finer texture and prevents arm fatigue during the paste-making stage
  • Keep your espresso shot fresh-made for maximum flavor impact—instant espresso powder can work in a pinch, but the real thing transforms this from nice to unforgettable
