Mocha Macchiato

Made a mocha macchiato the other morning in my 3 ounce bodum pavina cup. I put a half ounce of some Ghirardelli chocolate syrup I made by mixing chocolate chips and water over a double boiler. That's right, I know what a double boiler is. Food Network baby! I had made the syrup a week ago and it was chilling in the fridge. I poured the syrup in the bottom of the cup and the shot went over it, about 1.5 ounces and then the half ounce of steamed non fat milk. The macchiato had some strong coffee and slight chocolate taste in the beginning with a finish of cool chocolate with a hint of coffee to it. Next time I'll heat up the chocolate syrup first to get a better mixture. I liked the cool chocolate finish though.
