Ingredients

  • ¼ cup milk any percentage, divided
  • 1 granulated sugar to 2 tablespoons (12 to 25g
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 5g
  • 1 cup coffee cold
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream optional
  • Whipped Cream optional for topping
  • chocolate syrup optional for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pot, combine 2 tablespoons of the milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to simmer and is well-combined and smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in cold coffee, remaining 2 tablespoons of the milk, and optional heavy cream. 
  3. Pour over a 16-ounce cup (or mason jar) of ice, top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use 1 tablespoon sugar for a less sweet mocha or 2 tablespoons for a sweeter drink that balances ice melt.
  • For cold coffee, brew double-strength coffee then pour over ice, or cool hot coffee in the freezer for 15–20 minutes to room temperature.
  • To make a mocha frappuccino, blend 1½ cups ice with the mocha prepared with heaping tablespoons of sugar instead of level measures to maintain sweetness after blending.
