Step-By-Step Instructions

Ingredients

• 2 cups ice 
• 2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice): non-dairy milk can be used but may alter the flavor and/or texture some.
• 1 cup hot strong coffee: you can use 2 shots of espresso with added water, or strong brewed coffee, but make sure it’s brewed strong so that the flavor holds up when mixed with milk and ice.
• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar: the chocolate syrup might make the drink sweet enough for some, so only add sugar or extra sweeteners if you prefer your beverages on the sweeter side. You can use sugar, honey, or any other sweetener of your choice.
• whipped cream (optional topping)
