    How to Make a Starbucks Iced Mocha Latte

    This is just a brief overview, find detailed instructions in the recipe card below!

    Add the chocolate sauce to a glass.
    Then add freshly brewed espresso.
    Stir to combine.
    Add in ice.
    Top with chilled milk.
    Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate to serve.

    Making an iced latte without an espresso maker

    If you don’t have an espresso machine you can still enjoy this iced caffe latte with these simple alternatives.

    Instant Espresso – use instant espresso powder mixed with hot water in place of freshly brewed espresso.

    Cold Brew Coffee - 3 or 4 ounces of cold brew coffee is a decent substitute if you're lacking an espresso machine!

    Best Milk for Iced Lattes

    It’s important to remember: some milk alternatives come pre-sweetened. If using a sweetened milk alternative be sure to adjust the amount of chocolate syrup you add to your espresso when making the latte so it’s not too sweet.

    Equipment

    • Espresso Maker, optional
    • Glass

    Instructions
