💭 faq
Mocha is typically prepared with a 1:2 ratio of espresso and steamed milk, with added chocolate syrup.
It depends on the preparation. If it’s made with chocolate syrup (a popular method), then yes, it is sweet.
It tastes like cold iced coffee with an extra layer of rich chocolate flavor.
It depends on the type of sweetener you use. Without sweetness, you’re looking at just 114 calories per serving.
