Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (118 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (118 ml) strongly brewed coffee or espresso
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) mocha syrup
Mocha Syrup Components:
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated or cane sugar
- ½ cup (118 ml) cold water
Flavor Enhancers and Garnish:
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Craft the rich mocha syrup by whisking cocoa powder, granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and cold water in a small saucepan over gentle heat until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous liquid.
- Remove the syrup from the heat source and fold in pure vanilla extract, allowing the aromatic essence to integrate seamlessly. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, developing deeper flavor notes.
- Select a tall glass or wide-mouthed mason jar and pour in cold whole milk (237 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces), freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso (118 milliliters or 4 fluid ounces), and the prepared mocha syrup.
- Vigorously whisk or securely seal the container and shake enthusiastically to create a luxurious, frothy texture that blends all ingredients harmoniously.
- Fill a separate serving glass with ice cubes, creating a chilled foundation for the mocha mixture.
- Gently cascade the frothed mocha over the ice, allowing the liquid to chill instantly and create an enticing layered effect.
- Optional: Crown the beverage with a generous dollop of whipped cream and drizzle additional chocolate syrup for an indulgent finishing touch.
