After that, sprinkle some cinnamon, cocoa or shredded peel of orange, orange and lemon on the milk foam to decorate or add flavor.

Sometimes, whipped cream, cocoa powder, and marshmallows are added to accentuate the aroma of coffee and as a decoration.

Like Italian cappuccinos, mocha has milk foam on it, but it is sometimes replaced with whipped cream.
