Chocolate Milk Iced Mochas.

Chocolate Milk Iced Mochas.

We’ve come a looonnnnng way baby. I’m now a coffee fiend (I MADE IT!) who desperately looks forward to that morning cup, even getting excited to go to bed just because of coffee in the morning. It’s the verrrry little things. Also, it’s miracle that I’m still married because Eddie 100% still loathes coffee, especially […]

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla powder
  • 3 1/2 cups cold

    preferably filtered water

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • 1 cup cold chocolate milk
  • coffee ice cubes

Directions

  1. 1

    The night before, add the coffee grinds and vanilla powder to the bottom of your french press or to a large measuring cup. Cover with the cold water. Place the in fridge (covered! or with the fresh press top, not pressed) overnight, for at least 8 to 12 hours.

  2. 2

    In the morning, press the coffee in the press or pour it over a coffee filter (or 2) into a larger bowl or pitcher. Fill a glass with a bit of chocolate syrup on the bottom and (coffee) ice cubes. Pour in your coffee and then fill the rest of the glass with chocolate milk. Drizzle extra chocolate on the rim. I’ve also topped this with coconut whipped cream!

  3. 3

    Note: I do have a nespresso that i use religiously and if I’m pressed for time or really craving cold brew, I’ll sometimes just brew that over ice. Slightly watered down but good enough for me!
