Follow these steps to make a rich, cold chocolate coffee drink at home using brewed coffee or espresso.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso, cooled
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your chocolate syrup if making from scratch, or measure out the pre-made syrup.
  2. In a glass, combine the cooled coffee or espresso with the chocolate syrup and sweetener, if using. Stir until fully mixed.
  3. Fill a tall glass completely with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the milk over the ice.
  5. Pour the coffee and chocolate mixture over the milk and ice. Stir gently to combine the layers.
  6. Top with whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate syrup.
  • If you do not have espresso, use very strong brewed coffee for the best flavor concentration.
  • To make a dairy-free mocha, substitute cow’s milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • If you prefer a blended texture, combine all ingredients (except whipped cream) in a blender with ice and pulse until smooth.
