- Still powdery? Add another splash of milk and Re-spin once more.

Tips
- Use decaf instant coffee for an evening tubpint.
- Add 1 tsp more espresso powder if you like your mocha strong.
- A vanilla shake works too. Add 1 tbsp more cocoa to keep the chocolate flavor.

Why it works
Dissolving instant espresso in a little warm milk gives strong coffee flavor without watering the base down, and cocoa deepens the chocolate from the shake.
