This iced mocha latte combines rich espresso, honey, unsweetened cocoa powder, and creamy oat milk for a café-quality drink you can make at home in under 5 minutes.
Whisk the cocoa powder with honey until smooth and glossy. Stir in 1 shot hot espresso (or ¼ cup strong hot coffee) until fully dissolved, then mix in 1 cup cold oat milk until the mocha base is uniform in color.
Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the mocha mixture over the top. Add optional coconut whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa, or a honey drizzle for extra sweetness and presentation.
Notes
Dissolve Cocoa Powder Completely: Mix the cocoa with honey first to prevent clumping. This helps it dissolve smoothly once liquid is added.
Use Hot Espresso: Even in an iced mocha recipe, start with hot espresso or coffee so the cocoa fully dissolves and the drink stays silky, not grainy.
Adjust Ratios to Taste: Boost chocolate flavor by increasing cocoa to 1½ tablespoons or add an extra teaspoon of honey for more sweetness.
Brew Coffee Double-Strength: If using regular coffee instead of espresso, brew it extra strong so the flavor stays bold once it hits the ice.
