The Purrrrrrfect Iced Mocha!

There are plenty of ways that you can create an Iced Mocha and each Cafe or Coffee Shop Chain will have their own way of doing so... But We would like to show you a few basic ways to make this great summer Drink!

Some Basic Rules you should know:

1. If you dont plan on stirring the drink with a spoon or wisk at the end then dont bother pumping in a bunch of chocolate Syrup at the beggining. Because no one want to be served an Iced Latte with a bunch of chocolate syrup lying at the bottom of the cup not going anyway! It will taste like garbage!

2. Proper Layering is key to making an ordinary Iced Mocha into a grrrreat Iced Mocha!

3. Making sure you have the right amount of ice can be the difference between bad, good and great! Hence it is called "ICED" Mocha... Not Watery Mocha or "Only Ice" Mocha! LOL!

4. Last but not least... Always make sure that you achieve a nice sweet balance between Cocoa Flavour, Espresso Coffee and Milk or Milk alternative! A True Iced Mocha!

How to Prepare an Iced Mocha:

Ingredients you will need:

Cold Milk (3/4 the Amount of your Cold Cup Size) (Skim, 2% or Whole) or Soy
Shots of Espresso Coffee (1oz Shot for 12oz, 2oz for 16oz, 3oz for 20oz)
1 Cold Cup filled 3/4 full with Ice, 1/2 way for Light Iced or To the Top for Full Ice
Liquid Chocolate Syrup in Pump form or Squeeze Bottle (Nesquick etc..)
(Whip Cream as Desired)

PREPERATION: (using squeeze bottle Chocolate)

Taking your Cold Cup filled with Ice Add the Cold milk or soy beverage to approximately 3/4 full of your cup size. So for a 12 oz. cup the cold milk should be 9oz., 16oz. cup should have 120z. cold milk and 20oz. cup should have 15oz. cold milk. Once the Milk has been added to 3/4 high, slowly swirl in the espresso coffee on top allowing it to soak down into the milk slightly mixing itself into the drink. Once Added, you will add the Chocolate Syrup from the Squeese Bottle. Slowly Squeeze in a circular motion the syrup into the drink on top. This will allow the chocolate to create layers throughout the milk and espresso coffee. Add Whip cream to the top of the drink as desired and you are complete! It is customary for the customer to stir the drink which will completely mix the ingredients as they drink, to their own desire!
