Make a cafe-quality iced mocha at home using strong coffee or espresso and chocolate syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso or 4 oz strong cold brew concentrate
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or 1 tablespoon cocoa powder mixed with 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or measure out four ounces of strong cold brew concentrate.
  2. If using cocoa powder, mix it thoroughly with one tablespoon of hot water until smooth to create a paste. If using syrup, measure it directly.
  3. In a tall glass, combine the chocolate mixture (syrup or paste) and the optional sugar or sweetener.
  4. Pour the prepared coffee or cold brew over the chocolate mixture. Stir briefly to combine the coffee and chocolate base.
  5. Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.
  6. Pour the milk over the ice and coffee mixture.
  7. Stir well until the drink is uniformly cold and the chocolate is fully incorporated throughout the milk.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup to control the sweetness and chocolate flavor intensity.
  • If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use less milk or increase the amount of espresso.
  • To make a quick mocha syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water with cocoa powder until dissolved, then cool before use.
