- Use 1 tablespoon of sugar for a less sweet mocha, or 2 tablespoons if you prefer a sweeter mocha that stays flavorful even as the ice melts.
- If you don’t have cold coffee, you can brew a pot at double strength and pour it over ice (about 1 heaping cup of ice per 1 cup of coffee), or pour hot coffee into a large cup and chill it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until it reaches at least room temperature.
- To make a mocha frappuccino, prepare the recipe as written but use heaping tablespoons of sugar instead of level ones (since the ice will dilute the sweetness), then blend 1 1/2 cups of ice with the mocha mixture until smooth.
