Ingredients
  

  • 1 Shot espresso (about 1 ounce)
  • ½ Cup strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup (or more for extra sweetness)
  • 1 Cup cold milk (whole, skim, or any non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1 Cup Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or coffee maker (if using brewed coffee)
  • Tall glass (12 oz or larger)
  • Spoon or stirrerStraw (optional)
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Brew the coffee/espresso:
    Start by brewing a shot of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can substitute it with 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee. You want the coffee to be strong to balance the sweetness of the chocolate syrup.
  2. Prepare the glass:In a tall glass, add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.
    If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, you can increase the syrup to 3 tablespoons.
  3. Mix the espresso with chocolate:
    Pour the freshly brewed espresso into the glass with the chocolate syrup. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chocolate syrup dissolves completely into the coffee. You’ll notice the chocolate adding a rich, smooth sweetness to the coffee.
  4. Add the milk:
    Add 1 cup of cold milk to the glass.You can use dairy milk or any plant-based milk like oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk, depending on your preference. Stir again to mix the milk and coffee together, creating a creamy base.
  5. Add ice:
    Fill the glass with ice cubes, about 1 cup or more, depending on how cold and diluted you want your drink. Stir well to combine the ice with the coffee mixture.
  6. Optional – Whipped Cream:
    For an extra indulgent touch, top your iced mocha with a generous swirl of whipped cream. This will add a creamy, airy texture to the drink and elevate the flavor profile.
  7. Optional – Garnish:
    If you want to get fancy, you can garnish the whipped cream with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder to add a visual appeal and an extra hint of chocolate.
  8. Serve & Enjoy:
    Insert a straw, give it one last stir, and your Iced Mocha is ready to enjoy! It’s perfect for sipping on a hot day or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Notes

  • If you like your iced mocha extra chocolatey, feel free to add a bit more chocolate syrup or even a splash of chocolate milk for a richer flavor.
  • For those who prefer a less sweet version, start with 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup and adjust to taste.
  • Use cold brew coffee or chilled brewed coffee for an even smoother texture.
  • To make it more decadent, you can drizzle extra chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring the coffee and milk mixture for a chocolatey swirl.
