Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Smores Cocoa recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small.

Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.

- Toasted marshmallow syrup: 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) (campfire flavor)
- Brown sugar cinnamon syrup: 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) (graham cracker taste)
Tip: Top with mini marshmallows and toast them with a kitchen torch, or put the mug under the broiler for 30 seconds.

How to Make a 7 Brew Smores Cocoa at Home
Cocoa and steamers are made on the stove or in the microwave. Warm the milk until it steams, but do not let it boil. Stir in the sauces and syrups until smooth. Top with whipped cream for the full treat. It takes about five minutes.
- Warm the milk: Heat 1 1/2 cups of milk on the stove or in the microwave until steaming.
- Stir in the flavors: Whisk in the dark chocolate sauce, toasted marshmallow syrup and brown sugar cinnamon syrup until smooth.
- Pour into a mug: Pour carefully into a large mug.
- Top it off: Add whipped cream and a drizzle or sprinkles.
Pro tips for the best taste
- Use cold ingredients so the ice melts slowly.
- Measure syrups the first time, then adjust to taste.
- Stir from the bottom, because syrup sinks.
- Store syrups in a cool, dark spot so they last.
Warm the milk until it steams, but do not let it boil. Whisk in the chocolate first, then the syrups. Taste and add more chocolate if you like it richer. Add whipped cream and crushed graham crackers on top. For an iced version, use cold milk and pour over ice.
