What You’ll Need

Gather up these simple ingredients before we begin:

• Chocolate sauce
• Ice cubes
• Milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
• Double shot of espresso
• For the sweet cold foam:
• 10 g of sugar
• 100 ml of milk

How to Make Your Special Iced Mocha

Step 1: Decorate Your Glass with Chocolate

Start by adding a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce to the bottom of your glass. Next, take your milk frother or a small spoon, dip it into the chocolate sauce, and spread it around the inside of your glass. This step not only makes your drink look beautiful but also ensures that every sip is filled with chocolatey goodness!

Step 2: Add Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes. The ice will help chill the mocha while also giving it that refreshing, cool texture that makes iced drinks so irresistible.

Step 3: Pour in the Milk

Pour your choice of milk over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters of the way. Whether you prefer creamy whole milk or a light almond or oat milk, choose what you love! This step is where your iced mocha starts to come together.

Step 4: Add the Espresso

Brew a double shot of espresso and pour it over the milk and ice. The espresso will gently mix with the milk and chocolate sauce, creating a beautiful marbling effect. The rich coffee flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet chocolate and creamy milk, making this drink a true delight.

Step 5: Make the Sweet Cold Foam

Now, it’s time to make that luxurious sweet cold foam. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 10 g of sugar with 100 ml of milk. Use a frother to whip the milk and sugar together until it becomes light, airy, and frothy. The sweet cold foam adds a delicious layer of sweetness and texture to your iced mocha.

Step 6: Top It Off

Carefully spoon or pour the sweet cold foam over the top of your iced mocha. The foam will sit beautifully on top, creating a gorgeous, creamy topping that looks as good as it tastes.

Sip and Savor

Your Special Iced Mocha is now ready to be enjoyed! This drink is a fantastic combination of rich chocolate, bold espresso, creamy milk, and fluffy cold foam. Each sip is a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making it the perfect treat for any coffee lover.

Pro Tips for the Best Iced Mocha

• Customize Your Chocolate: For a richer flavor, use a dark chocolate sauce, or opt for a white chocolate sauce for a sweeter, creamier version. You can even mix in a flavored syrup, like hazelnut or vanilla, for an extra twist.
• Experiment with Milk: Different types of milk can change the flavor and texture of your iced mocha. Whole milk creates a creamy, indulgent drink, while almond or oat milk adds a subtle nutty note that complements the chocolate and espresso beautifully.
• Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter or less sweet drink, adjust the amount of sugar in the cold foam to your liking. You can also use flavored syrups or alternative sweeteners like honey or agave.
