📝 INGREDIENTS
Instant coffee granules – When making iced drinks with coffee, I prefer using instant coffee granules over brewed coffee to control the strength.
Unsweetened cocoa powder – Use good quality cocoa powder; if you are a chocoholic, go for darker cocoa powder.
Milk – In this recipe, whole regular milk or almond milk will work. In case you want it richer, go for half and half.
Sugar – I’m using fine white sugar, but it’s alright if you want to use other sweeteners.
Hot water – It is important to use hot water because it will help the coffee dissolve and will bloom the cocoa powder.
Ice cubes – Fill your glass with ice, and I suggested large cubes to keep your beverage chilled for longer.
