Start off by brewing the strong coffee or espresso using whatever method you prefer. The easiest way is to brew strong coffee in a regular coffee maker by adding additional coffee grounds. You can also brew espresso in a French press if you don’t have an espresso machine.
Once the coffee or espresso is brewed, pour coffee into a glass and add the chocolate syrup. Give it a good stir so that the chocolate dissolves in the hot coffee or espresso. Let the hot coffee cool, or even chill in the fridge if time allows.
Please Note: if you are using cold coffee or espresso, it is okay, you can simply be sure to stir the chocolate syrup into the coffee or espresso very well so that it doesn’t just clump at the bottom.
Into the glass with your coffee or espresso and chocolate syrup, add ice cubes, milk, and simple syrup if you would like it to be sweeter. How sweet the drink is, is entirely up to your personal preference. Top the drink with whipped cream, chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired. Then serve right away and enjoy!
