Make iced mocha: Add espresso and 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce to a glass. Stir to combine and leave to cool.
Add ice then add milk. Stir to combine.

Notes
You can also use store-bought chocolate syrup to make this coffee.
You can also use natural cocoa powder, but Dutch-processed has a better flavor. You can also add a cube of milk chocolate to the sauce to make it more 'chocolatey'.
To make this taste even better, brew a cup of coffee and freeze it as ice cubes then use these coffee ice cubes to make your iced mocha.
You can also top your coffee with whipped cream. I used it to make the photos and it's delicious but to be honest I usually make my coffee without it. If you want to make homemade whipped cream, beat with a mixer 3 Tbsp of heavy cream with 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar until stiff.
You can also use 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla to flavor your coffee.
To make the milk frothy, you could add all the ingredients into a jar or shaker and shake for 1-2 minutes or until the milk is frothy.
Calories = 1 coffee (the whole recipe). This is only an estimate!
