Notes

  • Feel free to use any flavored syrup you like, such as caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, or strawberry. You can also make your own homemade chocolate syrup!
  • For an even stronger cup of coffee, freeze strongly brewed coffee in an ice cube tray and use coffee ice cubes to chill your coffee!
  • Use your favorite brewed coffee, or opt for a flavored coffee, such as hazelnut, vanilla, or caramel.
  • While I like to use whole milk in my coffee, you can use any milk you like, including plant milks.
  • For a peppermint mocha, add a few drops of peppermint extract and top with crushed-up candy cane pieces!
  • For a caramel mocha, add caramel syrup in place of (or in addition to) some of the chocolate syrup. Drizzle with caramel syrup!
  • for a white chocolate mocha, add some white chocolate sauce, such as Ghirardelli or Torani brand.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional toppings.
Storage: Store chocolate coffee (without ice) covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
