⭐ Pro Tips

  1. Use real chocolate syrup – It makes the mocha flavor extra rich.
  2. Want it extra creamy? Use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream.
  3. No espresso machine? Just use strong brewed coffee.
  4. Love it iced? Pour over ice instead of steaming the milk.
  5. Make it dairy-free! Use almond, oat, or coconut milk for a creamy alternative.

πŸ”„ Substitutions & Variations

  • No raspberry syrup? Use raspberry jam mixed with a little hot water.
  • Less sugar? Use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of chocolate syrup.
  • Extra chocolatey? Add a few chocolate chips to the milk while heating.
  • Make it a frappe! Blend everything with ice for a frozen mocha treat.

⏳ Make-Ahead Tips

  • Brew extra espresso and store in the fridge for quick lattes later.
  • Make a batch of raspberry syrup and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
