Iced Mocha – A Beautiful Mess

Summer is on its way and the warmer temperatures are making me crave cold drinks. So, today I thought I would share how to make the best iced mocha at home.

A mocha (chocolate latte) is one of my favorite hot coffee drinks in the winter, but this iced version is perfect for a summer treat.

I make a homemade mocha or any homemade latte with espresso. This is how it’s made in a coffee shop, and I personally love the intensity and flavor of espresso drinks like these.

However, I will also give tips for using Cold drink coffee Alternatively if you don’t like espresso or don’t have a way to make it at home.

ingredients

• Espresso – or cold brew coffee
• Milk – any kind you prefer: dairy, oatmeal, almond, soy, etc.
• chocolate syrup – I preferBut Hershey’s or any chocolate syrup you like is great
• Whipped cream – optional

In case you were curious, here I am Bubble rim drinking cups And they’re the perfect size for a homemade iced mocha IMO.

How to make an iced mocha

Make a shot of espresso. I use Automatic espresso coffee machine at home. Other options include Fireplace espresso Or you can get a file Deluxe espresso machine.

If you don’t use espresso, you can use a strong one Cold drink coffee instead of.

Combine the milk with the chocolate syrup and whisk or whisk foam until well blended.

Fill a small cup with ice. Then pour in the espresso (or coffee) and pour the chocolate milk on top. Give this a stir. Top with whipped cream, if using.

Tips and replacements

• If you want to use leftover coffee, allow it to cool before using it. You will need very strong coffee since you won’t be using much to replace the espresso in this recipe.
• Any store-bought or homemade chocolate sauce can work with this mocha.
• I love Homemade whipped cream But store-bought is great, too.

Homemade espresso machines

We’ve tried many espresso machines over the years, and here are our reviews:

• Automatic espresso coffee machine My current device. Any whole bean is used, so if you use high-quality beans, you will get a high-quality espresso. Automatically doses espresso (no barista skills required) and includes a milk frothing wand to heat and froth milk. We have used this machine almost every day since we got it six months ago and we love it! It comes in three colours.

• Espresso on the stove – This is the cheapest way to make espresso at home. It is labor intensive and you will also need a way to grind your beans for best results. But this is a classic method that works great when done well.
• Breville Barista Touch – We bought this for a good friend as a wedding present once and they said they loved it. It’s a quality machine that you’ll need some barista skills to operate, but it’s an excellent home espresso maker.
• Nespresso Vertuo – For those who want an espresso maker that uses pods, this is my favorite. Depending on the capsule you use, it can make espresso or coffee.
