Kitchen Witch Thursdays - Easy Iced Mochas
Normally I'm okay with taking my coffee hot, or at least warm, but as the heat continues to hang out above 80F/26.6C in the days here I want cold coffee instead so I cobbled together a recipe for iced mochas from various internet sources. It's a bit on the unhealthy side, but drinking it through the course of the day gets me through and doesn't add too many calories to an overall daily intake.
You'll need the following;
- 8 oz strong/dark brew coffee
- 8 oz chocolate milk
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
That's the 3 basic ingredients. I also added some of my self love hot chocolate mix to the coffee while it was warm. You can sub out the chocolate milk for regular and the chocolate syrup for strawberry or caramel depending on your preferences too, which is really nice.
Not shown is the fact that I also took some coffee, threw it in an ice tray and froze it to make ice cubes that won't water the drink down and will add a little extra coffee to the drink over time as well.
And literally all you have to do is mix the coffee, milk and syrup together. Toss in a few ice cubes if you like and enjoy! Like I said, I tend to sip on this all through the day so it's not bad calorie-wise on my overall daily intake. Especially with dark brew coffee that's stronger on the caffeine count and the extra coffee ice cubes to boot.
This is my favorite thing when the weather is too hot for regular coffee, and I've been drinking it pretty regular while the heat wave is hitting us. I still can't wait for winter and my hot coffee (and tea!) but for now this will do ^^

Looks like a great drink for hot days! Never tried it though! I'm a bit scared of drinking my coffee cold as I love it hot but recently there is a lot of talk about iced mochas so will have to give it a try.
Thank you for sharing your recipe! At least I won't have to look up another one :)
I typically like mine hot too unless it's a frappucino or some similar slushie-like consistency, but this is a great alternative. If you try it let me know how you like it, I'd be interested to see what others think of it ^^
I usually only drink espresso because any other drink seems TOO sweet for me.. but if I make it at home it should be fine :)
Indeed, that's the great part about making stuff yourself - you can make it as sweet or bitter or whatever else as you like :D
Love your coffee❤😊❤ Looks wonderful. A fantastic presentation! wonderful colors ❤ i also love your food post. god bless you and your wonderful work friend sigilmancy.
mocha is my usual go to drink since i always like a bit of chocolate 😊
not sure if a lot of ppl like it but i like to add a bit of mint 😁
Not a big mint fan myself, but I could see that playing well in a mocha :)
lol... i do admit i have a peculiar tastebud 😂 hope you have a try! only a tiny bit of mint though. Too much and it will taste weird
I make ice cubes with coffee too. I sip through my coffee all day long too. We must be soul sisters 😊
Must be indeed! Honestly I just don't see the point in drinking a whole cup right away and overwhelming my system with caffeine when I can drink a little at a time and get a more consistent energy boost through the day, you know?
Exactly! I can drink a small cup of coffee ☕️ in the morning, but small! Did you see those extra tall coffee cups at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? How on earth can people drink such a large amount of coffee at one time?
Haha, to be fair I order those sizes when I get coffee from either place but again I tend to drink it over the course of a day instead of all at once. I think people who can drink all of that in an hour or two are far too addicted for their own good >.>
Thats very easy :-) thanks for that! looks like it help me tomorrow good out of bed ;-)
We do not even have such ingredients. I'll have to improvise!
