How to Make Iced Cocoa Coffee

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of freshly boiled water until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes. You can speed this up by placing the bowl in an ice bath.
  4. Stir in 1 ½ cups of chilled whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative). Mix well to combine.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly.
  6. Before serving, add 2 tablespoons heavy cream, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon to each serving. Using a milk frother or blender, froth until creamy and slightly foamy.
  7. Pour into tall glasses filled with ice and enjoy immediately! Garnish with extra cinnamon or chocolate shavings if desired.
