Making chocolatey mochas with cold brew concentrate isn't just delicious -- it's also incredibly fast and easy! Make this cold brew mocha recipe hot or cold for a tasty treat.
Heat the cold brew. Don’t let the name fool you — cold brew is excellent in hot coffee drinks. The cold in cold brew only refers to how the coffee was brewed.
Add the cocoa powder and sugar to the coffee and stir until all ingredients are well-mixed.
Froth the milk. If you don’t have a frother, you can use a French press to mimic frothing by rapidly moving the plunger up and down to aerate heated milk.
Gently pour the frothed milk over the coffee.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe uses slightly less coffee than you typically see in ordinary mocha recipes because the cold brew concentrate is stronger than a regular cup of coffee. If you want a lighter chocolate flavor, you can decrease the amount of cocoa powder or add extra milk.If you prefer an iced mocha, just skip the heating and frothing steps. Iced mochas are perfect for hot summer days, but you should be aware that it will be more difficult to get the cocoa powder and sugar to dissolve in cold coffee.Without the frothed milk, iced mochas have a different texture than hot mochas that might be more or less to your liking depending on how you feel about frothed milk. If you don’t have a frother and can’t be bothered to froth milk by hand – we don’t blame you – an iced mocha is a great alternative.
