Ingredients
- 1–2 shots espresso (depending on how strong you like your drink)
- 3 tbsp chocolate syrup (add more for sweeter and more chocolatey flavor)
- 6–8 oz milk (any type: dairy or plant-based)
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Optional: whipped cream and extra chocolate syrup for topping
- Brew Espresso: Prepare 1-2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Adjust the number of shots based on your desired coffee strength.
- Combine Espresso and Chocolate: Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a glass, then add 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup. Stir well to fully blend the espresso and chocolate flavors.
- Add Ice and Milk: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour 6 to 8 ounces of your chosen milk over the ice. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
- Serve and Garnish: Enjoy the iced mocha latte as is, or top with whipped cream and a drizzle of extra chocolate syrup for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- You can use any milk type: whole, skim, almond, soy, oat, or any milk alternative to suit dietary preferences.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup to make the drink sweeter or more chocolatey.
- Espresso can be substituted with strong brewed coffee if an espresso machine is unavailable, but the flavor will differ slightly.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure the chocolate syrup is dairy-free.
