Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 shots espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
  • 1-2 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 3/4 cup milk (oat milk recommended)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Brew one or two shots of fresh espresso or a half cup of very strong coffee.
  2. Stir the chocolate syrup into the hot liquid immediately until the mixture is fully incorporated.
  3. Allow the resulting chocolate-coffee base to cool slightly.
  4. Fill a tall glass to the brim with high-quality ice cubes.
  5. Pour the milk over the ice to form an even layer.
  6. Add the chocolate-coffee mixture to the glass over the milk.
  7. Stir the final beverage thoroughly, taste for sweetness, and adjust with more syrup if required.

Notes

Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes to prevent your drink from becoming watered down. Choose a high-quality, plant-based barista oat milk for a thicker, creamier texture that rivals coffee shop quality.
