Hot isn’t the only way to drink coffee! In the last few years, iced coffee
drinks have exploded in popularity. Though it may seem overwhelming, making
coffee shop-worthy beverage at home is way simpler than you think.

This Iced Mocha Latte comes together in just a matter of minutes that is way
less time than heading to your favorite coffee shop and that , too, for just a

perfect way to cool down on those hot summer days!

Whether you’re starting your day with a refreshing sip or seeking a
mid-afternoon pick-me-up, this indulgent beverage is sure to satisfy your
coffee cravings and sweet tooth alike.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE ICED MOCHA LATTE

The ingredient list for this iced coffee drink is ridiculously simple! Here’s
what you’ll need:

• ESPRESSO: Make it using a machine or use strongly brewed instant
  coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.
• MILK: I highly recommend using whole milk for the creamiest
  texture and most luxurious iced latte. Any non-dairy milk like soy, oat,
  or coconut milk will also work just fine.
• CHOCOLATE SYRUP: This will add sweetness and that classic
  chocolate flavor to our mocha.
• ICE CUBES: Can’t have an iced latte without ice!
• WHIPPING CREAM (OPTIONAL): For an extra decadent touch.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ICED MOCHA AND ICED LATTE ?

An Iced Mocha is a delicious combination of brewed coffee, milk, chocolate
sauce, and whipped cream served over ice. On the other hand, an Iced Latte
is a cold coffee beverage that primarily consists of espresso and milk
poured over ice.

An Iced Latte offers a more pronounced coffee taste, without any additional
sweetness or flavors, and has therefore fewer calories. In contrast, an Iced
Mocha is a sweeter and more indulgent drink that caters to chocolate lovers.
The brewed coffee is mixed with chocolate sauce, creating a delightful
balance between the bold coffee flavor and the indulgent taste of chocolate.

Wondering what to serve with this Iced Mocha Latte? Here are some treats
that would be a perfect snack:

EXTRA TIPS

• If you are using strongly brewed coffee instead of espresso, use
  less milk for a more authentic latte flavor.
• Some milk alternatives come pre-sweetened. If using a sweetened milk
  alternative be sure to adjust the amount of chocolate syrup when
  making the latte so it’s not too sweet.
• When the espresso is still hot, combine the espresso and the
  chocolate syrup and stir together well. The heat will help to melt
  the chocolate into the espresso and infuse the flavor throughout the
  iced latte.
• If the chocolate sauce is too thick , add 1-2 more tablespoons of
  milk to thin it out.
