Iced Mocha
This iced mocha is a lighter, healthier take on the classic coffeehouse drink, made without chocolate syrup or refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- In a glass or shaker, whisk together the cooled coffee, cocoa powder, and honey until fully dissolved.
- Add the milk and stir to combine.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the mocha mixture over the top.
- Top with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flavor.

Notes
- Dissolve the cocoa fully: Whisk the cocoa powder into the coffee before adding ice to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth iced mocha.
- Use cooled coffee: Hot coffee can melt the ice too quickly and dilute the drink. Let the coffee cool completely before mixing.
- Sweeten gradually: Cocoa powder can vary in bitterness. Start with the listed amount of honey and adjust to taste.
- Choose your milk wisely: Creamier milks like whole milk or oat milk create a richer iced mocha, while almond milk keeps it lighter.
- Serve immediately: Iced mochas are best enjoyed fresh, while the ice is intact and the flavors are well balanced.
