Base Ingredients
  • 8 ounces strong chilled coffee or cold brew
  • 1-2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened shredded coconut or coconut extract Use 1 tablespoon for a more textured flavor.
  • 1-2 teaspoons almond syrup or pure almond extract Use almond extract for a stronger flavor.
  • 3-4 ounces milk of choice or coconut milk Coconut milk adds extra richness.
  • Ice ice Use regular ice cubes or coffee ice cubes to prevent dilution.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Fill a tall glass with ice, using coffee ice cubes if desired.
  2. Stir chocolate syrup, coconut, and almond syrup with 2 tablespoons of coffee in the bottom of the glass until smooth.
  3. Add the rest of the coffee, then top with milk. Taste and adjust the sweetness or nuttiness.
  4. Finish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut and a few almond slices. Sip slowly if you can.
Flavor Variations
  1. For Iced Mocha Joy, whisk cocoa powder with chocolate syrup for a deeper flavor.
  2. For a lighter version, swap regular milk for unsweetened almond milk and reduce the syrup.
  3. For a frothy top, add coconut foam as a finishing touch.
  4. For a frozen version, blend with a cup of ice until slushy.
  5. If no syrups are available, use canned coconut milk with sugar and almond extract.

Notes

Use extracts wisely to control flavor intensity. Dairy alternatives can reduce calories without compromising taste. Feel free to add protein powder for an energy boost.
