Iced Mocha Latte Recipe
This iced mocha latte combines rich espresso, smooth milk, and decadent chocolate for a refreshing café-quality drink you can easily make at home. Perfect for a cool pick-me-up any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup of milk your choice: whole, almond, soy, etc.
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Whipped cream extra chocolate syrup for drizzling, flavor syrups (like vanilla or caramel)
Instructions
- Brew the Espresso: Start by brewing a shot of espresso using fresh coffee beans. If you don't have an espresso machine, brew strong coffee instead.
- Mix Espresso and chocolate. Pour the hot espresso into a glass. Stir in the chocolate syrup until well combined. If using cocoa powder, ensure it fully dissolves.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to cool the espresso-chocolate mixture quickly.
- Pour in Milk: Add your preferred milk, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to blend all the flavors.
- Optional Toppings: Top with whipped cream and drizzle extra chocolate syrup or add a splash of your favorite flavor syrup for extra sweetness.
Notes
Customization: Feel free to adjust the chocolate and milk quantities to suit your taste. Add more chocolate for a sweeter treat or more espresso for a stronger kick.
Coffee Ice Cubes: For a stronger coffee flavor, freeze leftover coffee in an ice tray and use these cubes instead of regular ice.
