Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cold brew coffee.
  • ¼ cup whole milk.
  • 2 tablespoons homemade chocolate sauce.
  • Ice cubes.
  • Whipped cream, optional.

Homemade Chocolate Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • 2 tablespoons water.
  • A pinch of salt.
  • A few drops of vanilla extract.

Instructions

How to Make Homemade Chocolate Sauce

  • dd the cocoa powder, sugar, and water to a small saucepan.
  • Warm the mixture over low heat and stir until it becomes smooth and dark. You should not see any dry cocoa.
  • Keep stirring for another 20 to 30 seconds until it thickens slightly. It should look like a thin chocolate syrup.
  • Remove it from the heat.
  • Stir in a pinch of salt and a few drops of vanilla to deepen the flavor.
  • Let the sauce cool to room temperature. If it becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

How to Make a Cold Brew Iced Mocha

  • Add two tablespoons of the homemade chocolate sauce to the bottom of a tall glass.
  • Pour in the cold brew coffee. The sauce will sit at the bottom at first.
  • Stir slowly for 10 to 15 seconds until the coffee turns an even chocolate brown. If you still see dark streaks or swirls, stir a little longer.
  • Add 8 to 10 ice cubes. This chills the drink and helps keep the flavor strong.
  • Pour in the milk. Start with ¼ cup. The drink will lighten in color as it mixes.
  • Stir gently to blend everything together. Taste it. Add a bit more milk for a creamier mocha or an extra teaspoon of chocolate sauce if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Add whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce if you want a dessert like finish.

Notes

Give the drink a good stir before drinking, especially if you're using whipped cream. This way, you'll get a nicely balanced drinking experience.
Remember, you can always switch out the whole milk for a different kind or sweeten the drink a bit more with chocolate sauce.
