Skip the flowers, go for chocolate and coffee instead
Looking to add a creative spark to your Valentine’s Day? You can’t go wrong with a sweet, caffeinated treat.
Whether you’re spoiling someone special or just treating yourself, our Iced Strawberry Mocha makes for a thoughtful and delicious way to celebrate love.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tsp of drinking chocolate powder (we recommend using our Gourmet Drinking Chocolate)
- 60ml of espresso (our Utopia Espresso works perfectly, or go for Organic Decaf if you’re skipping the caffeine)
- 6-7 ripe strawberries
- Your milk of choice
- Ice
- A muddling stick
METHOD
1 – Prepare the strawberries: Add the strawberries to a tall glass and mash them with the muddling stick until you’ve got a juicy pulp.
2 – Make the chocolate syrup: Mix 2 tsp of drinking chocolate powder with about 60ml of hot water (just off the boil) until smooth.
3 – Build your drink: Add ice on top of the strawberry pulp, then pour in the chocolate syrup and the two shots of espresso.
4 – Top it off: Fill the glass to the top with your milk of choice.
5 – Garnish and enjoy: Use a fresh strawberry to garnish for an extra touch of love. Stir well, sip and enjoy!
