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 fraction of the cost. It is wonderfully rich, creamy, indulgent and the 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.
