A guide to preparing a chilled coffee beverage that combines chocolate flavor, espresso, and milk, typically served over ice. The process involves combining brewed espresso or strong coffee with chocolate syrup or powder, then adding cold milk and often ice. This creates a refreshing and caffeinated drink, popular for its sweet and invigorating qualities.
The appeal of this beverage lies in its ability to deliver both a caffeine boost and a sweet treat, making it a favored alternative to hot coffee during warmer months. Its roots can be traced to the broader history of both coffee and chocolate consumption, evolving alongside the development of espresso-based drinks and the desire for chilled variations.
