Iced Cafe Mocha
Method
Iced Cafe Mocha
Prepare coffee
Brew two shots of espresso (about 2 oz) or make 2 oz strong brewed coffee. While the espresso is hot, proceed to dissolve the cocoa and sugar.
Make chocolate base
In a small heatproof cup, add 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tsp granulated sugar. Pour in 2 tbsp hot water and whisk vigorously until fully dissolved and smooth, forming a concentrated chocolate syrup.
Combine coffee and chocolate
Pour the hot espresso into the chocolate base and stir until combined. If using vanilla extract, add 1 tsp now and stir.
Assemble drink
Pour the chocolate-coffee mixture over the ice. Add 8 fl oz (about 1 cup) whole milk over the top. Stir gently to combine and chill the drink evenly.
Finish and serve
Top with 2 tbsp whipped cream if desired and a light drizzle of chocolate syrup. Serve immediately with a straw.
