Mix 1 Tbs of cocoa and 2 Tbs sugar together and add enough boiling water to make a syrup. Set this aside for later.
Put 2 Tbs of ground coffee in a mug and fill the mug 3/4 of the way with boiling water. Let sit and until later.
If you have access to a cafe you can also use 2 or more shots of espresso in this drink instead of the coffee.
