Make your own iced mocha?

Mama Bird · 07-07-2009, 08:53 AM

I LOVE McDonald's iced mochas. Unfortunately, they're disgustingly expensive. I've tried to make my own at home, but can't quite get it right. Does anyone have a surefire way to make one that tastes like Mickey D's?

I have my own cappuccino/espresso maker, so that's not an issue.

I'm drinking one right now

Here's a link with a recipe - http://www.ehow.com/how_2293047_make...ed-coffee.html but it requires that you wait overnight which is much too long for me

For mine, I took a cup of plain brewed coffee, 2.5 T of hot chocolate mix, 1 cup of milk (I used rice milk) and a bit of sugar. I mixed it up in a juice mixer pitcher and then added some ice. It melted and so I poured it over some ice in a glass.

The problem was that my first batch of ice melted right away and watered down the coffee. I would let your coffee cool a bit before making it (as hard as that is)

The good part was that I got three glasses of coffee out of it.

You'd have to tweak it how you like it but it's a basic recipe.

Oh yeah, and if you're really wanting a McD's one - supposedly you can get a free one every Monday in July from 7AM to 7PM

I used to love to make a cup of coffee and a cup of homemade hot cocoa. Then I mix them together. Yum. I imagine it would be good over ice, too.

Nowadays, I just make a little coffee with a lot of milk and a little chocolate syrup (I'm feeling lazy.)

i just made one this morning.. I usually do my plain latte, but decided to add some chocolate to it today.. I don't measure (other than when making the espresso part).. but I make my chocolate milk first, then heat & froth, then just add my espresso.. yum!

I use leftover coffee just for this purpose

I sweeten the coffee when it's still warm. After it cools I put it in the blender with some milk/cream and possibly some chocolate syrup. Add ice and blend.

YUMMY!
