Welcome to Butterfiesta! I am excited to share my favorite mocha iced coffee recipe with all of you. Coffee and chocolate are a match made in heaven . This vibrant and refreshing drink will kick start your hot summer mornings.
The term Mocha is derived from the Yemeni port city of Al-Mukha, which refer to the perfect blend of coffee and chocolate. With the passing time this combo gained a sensation over the globe and many chefs tried this combo in their creations. I love to enjoy this blend to boost start my day with homemade mocha iced coffee.
Mocha Iced Coffee Recipe
Homemade mocha iced coffee is a perfect classic drink infused with rich espresso, chocolate syrup, and creamy milk. The creaminess of milk, sweetness of chocolate, and vibrant taste of espresso pair beautifully. However, the ice adds a refreshing and cooling sensation to the drink.
I make this recipe with strongly brewed espresso, but you can use brewed coffee. The best thing about this recipe is you can adjust the quantity of ingredients as per taste preference. If you like strong coffee flavors increase the espresso, if dominant chocolate flavor is your choice you can add a tablespoon of more chocolate syrup.
